This is held either just before or just after Easter each year at New College, Oxford. Most conference members are residential. Five or six sessions are held. Papers are circulated in advance to conference members and are then examined in discussion after a brief presentation by their authors. Some papers are invited, and others result from a call for papers which is issued a year in advance.
Some sessions take the form of workshops.
Time is also given over to social activities. The AGM is held during the Annual Conference. Further information about the Annual Conference 2001 and about past conferences is available here . There are a number of branches throughout the UK, and the work done there forms an important element in the Society's activities. Branch meetings are a source of new ideas.
