You said; we did!

We want BNA2025 to be the best Festival yet! And we're on a continuous learning curve, developing ways to improve the experience for you, our delegates. Following feedback from BNA2023, the event planning team have revised various elements as follows:

You said:
There were some implications of starting the scientific programme on Sunday morning in terms of travel, caring responsibilities, and disrupting a work-life balance

We did:
We have taken this into consideration, and BNA2025 will begin with a welcome celebration reception taking place on Sunday evening, with the scientific programme kicking-off officially on Monday morning (28th).

You said:
The welcome reception for BNA2023 finished too late after a long day, with limited food options after this time.

We did:
The Sunday evening welcome celebration reception will end at 7.30pm, and a list of local restaurants and eateries will be provided to delegates ahead of time.

You said:
The posters were located in too many different areas (5 in total), providing some confusion and making it difficult to navigate posters in a communal theme.

We did:
There 2 main poster areas, they will be grouped on theme with clear guidance made available to delegates beforehand.

You said:
It was disruptive to have the exhibition break down during the event and not available on the last day.

We did:
The exhibition will run all on all days of the conference.

You said:
Although the vegetarian options were praised, there was simply not enough variety from day-to-day.

We did:
We are working with the onsite catering team at the ACC from the offset to ensure that the vegetarian offerings are varied.

You said:
The app was handy, although there was some confusion on how to use it, and the floorplan did not work as it should have.

We did:
We will be inviting all delegates to a handy masterclass on the app well ahead of time, with video tutorials housed on the BNA2025 website for easy access.
