The half-day Building on IPRO and Building on IPCOR Pharma events, full-day workshops and half-day workshops will be held on the pre-conference day, Wednesday 18 October, and are now open for registration.
These events are great way to enhance your learning and networking experience at the conference. They are also a great option for those who are not able to attend the entire Annual Conference but still want to participate in important conversations about health related quality of life research.
The Building on IPRO event, Building on IPCOR Pharma event, and workshops are ticketed events and require pre-registration. You may add your pre-conference event registration on to your overall conference registration,* or register for single events at the non-conference attendee rate. View further information and ticket prices below.
Please note: because event times overlap, attendees are limited to either one full-day event ticket or one morning session ticket and one afternoon session ticket (half-day events).
