CARs & FoF 2012
Important Announcement
It is with great regret that the CARS & FoF 2012 conference due to be held on 10-12 July 2012 in London had been postponed. This is due to rapidly escalating hotel accommodation costs which would prevent many delegates from attending, caused by the Olympic Games being hosted in London later that month. While this was an identified risk, it is having a much more significant impact than originally anticipated.
The organisers appreciate that this will disappoint many potential delegates, however, it is hoped that a much bigger audience will be able to attend and result in a much more successful conference in the following year.
The event is expected to be rescheduled to July 2013 and the exact dates will be posted on this site in January 2012.
Please accept our sincere apologies.
