HNSA 2019 Program Changes
'The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley' - Robert Burns ‘To a Mouse’
The HNSA 2019program features over 60 speakers in 25 sessions across 2 days. As program director,I was pleased that all the moving parts fell into place in March. However, someof our authors have needed to withdraw for various reasons so I thought I’d introduceyou to our fabulous replacements.
