Weqas Annual Conference 2021

Last December, we were delighted to be able to return to host our Weqas Annual Conference. The event at the Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel & Spa saw two days of interesting and engaging talks, and it was also great to once again engage with our participants face to face.

If you were in attendance, we hope you enjoyed the event and we look forward to seeing you at future events.
