Bone Research Society Annual Meeting
6-8 July 2020
We have updated our plans for BRS2020
We want to update you on our plans regarding BRS2020 scheduled to take place 6 – 8 July 2020 in Manchester.
We have been closely monitoring the situation and it is clear that the impact of the current situation will last for some time. Our paramount concern is the health and wellbeing of participants. We have evaluated all options and have made the difficult decision to postpone the meeting.
We have been working with the committees, sponsors, suppliers and venues, all of whom have been incredibly supportive and we are so pleased to announce the new dates will be 28th - 30th June 2021 and it will be held at the same venue, Manchester Metropolitan University.
Those already registered for this year will be automatically carried over to these new dates unless you are unable to confirm your attendance, in which case, please contact us on events@boneresearchsociety.org and we can arrange a refund.
At BRS we realise how important it is for our community to remain in touch and communicate new science and data so we are also planning a programme of online content that can be viewed live during the original dates in July or on-demand at your convenience. BRS 2020 Online will give abstract authors the opportunity to present their posters or oral communications and other educational content where appropriate. We are still finalising this exciting programme and we will be in touch soon with more information and registration details.
If you submitted an abstract, we will be in touch by Friday 8th May to let you know if your abstract has been accepted as a poster or oral communications, and we will include details of online presentation plans.
If you should have any questions, please get in touch at events@boneresearchsociety.org otherwise, look after yourselves and we will be in touch soon with further information.
