Press Release: AMEE 2022 Plenary speakers and programme announced

AMEE 2022 returns to an in-person and online event

After 50 years of conferences, two of which were entirely virtual, we’re now ready for our first truly hybrid conferences – offering online participants an equitable opportunity, with live streamed plenaries and symposia, but also dedicated sessions where online participants can present to the online audience in their own timezone and network with those attending in person.
