BSG Campus - Thank you from the BSG Senior Secretary and BSG Secretary
Dear members,
We do hope that you were able to join us online for BSG Campus and hope that you have had an enjoyable Campus week.
This year’s event was particularly special as it marked the conclusion of the BSG Campus series. We’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the entire Programme Committee for their incredible efforts in delivering an outstanding final Campus programme. Their commitment to curating a high-quality, engaging, and informative programme was evident throughout and we invite you to join us in extending our congratulations to them.
This milestone event marks the end of an era, with Campus originally acting as our Annual Meeting during a time where we were unable to meet face-to-face. It is thanks to the collective efforts of the Programme Committee, faculty, BSG office staff, and team at TFI Lodestar that Campus’24 will be remembered as a fitting and inspiring conclusion to the BSG Campus series.
If you were unable to join us live this year, you can still catch up on all the Campus sessions on-demand until 3rd March 2025. You can register for on-demand access here.
As we close the chapter on BSG Campus and focus on the future, we are pleased to announce that the BSG LIVE’25 abstract submission portal is now open. We look forward to receiving your abstract submissions and to welcoming you to the SEC Glasgow for BSG LIVE’25 on 23rd – 26th June.
Wishing you all restful and peaceful holidays.
Sincerely,
Prof Helen Steed, Senior Secretary
Dr Safa Al-Shamma, Secretary
