About us

We are a communications and conference organising company with academic and scientific excellence at the heart of everything we do.

We differ from conventional commercial conference organisers in many important ways.

• Our company is run by scientists, for scientists. As a result, our scientific programmes are carefully developed to reflect the latest advances and emerging trends in each conference topic.
• We are supported by many of the world’s leading researchers from academia, industry, government research organisations and professional scientific societies.
• In addition to collaborating with universities worldwide, we have worked closely with numerous international, national, governmental and charitable organisations, including the World Health Organisation, Global Snakebite Initiative, Health Action International, Lillian Lincoln Foundation, International Society on Toxinology, International Society on Aptamers, Public Health England, The Wellcome Trust, Animal and Plant Health Agency and The Pirbright Institute; as well as UK universities including Universities of Oxford, Kent and Nottingham.
• We strive to keep our registration fees as low as possible, making our conferences accessible to researchers, particularly those from academia, without compromising quality.
• Supporting researchers, especially those at the early stages of their careers, is central to our mission. We provide opportunities to present their work in oral sessions and offer a valuable platform for networking and collaboration with fellow academics and industrial researchers.
• Where funding permits, we also support academic researchers financially by offering free/subsidised registration, travel and accommodation. Furthermore, our registration fees are often significantly lower than those charged by many academic conferences.
• Over the years, our conferences have facilitated numerous national and international scientific collaborations, as well as substantial commercial partnerships. We are proud of this achievement.
• The fact that so many distinguished and early-career scientists return to our conferences year after year is, we believe, the strongest endorsement of the quality and value of our events.

We hope to see at one of our events soon.

We use venue facilities provided by the University of Oxford Colleges and Departments for our events. However, we do not have any formal affiliation with the University or its colleges.
