Weqas Annual Conference
Thank you to our participants, sponsors, and speakers who joined us for our Weqas Annual Conference this year in Cardiff. We were back at the Hilton Hotel in Cardiff and had two days of excellent internal and external speakers on Point of care testing and the future of diagnostics. We were delighted to engage with our EQA participants, IVD manufacturers, and speakers. Participants took the opportunity to network with Weqas staff, speakers, sponsors, and peers from across the country. We were pleased that our conference delegates enjoyed interacting with the speakers using our QR Conference Portal to submit questions and respond to polls during and after the talks.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year at the Hilton Manchester Deansgate. If there is anything else you want to see as part of our education and training events, or if you want us to include a particular theme next year, please email us at contact@weqas.com.
