Our conferences and events are a chance to hear from, and ask questions in person to, people interested in and affected by aniridia.
Conference 2018 was on Saturday 14 April 2018 in London. It ran from 10:00am until 5:15pm with breaks for lunch and afternoon refreshments.
Afterwards there was an optional evening event including transport to a goalball tutorial, social time and pizza at Haverstock School in Chalk Farm.
Review Twitter posts with the hashtag #ANUKconf for reactions at the event.
We live streamed and record the presentations for later publication on YouTube.
You can view the presentation slides (pdf) on your own devices so they are easier to read.
