2020 Whisper Workshop

The Whisper Workshop. New ways to network. New ideas for research.

PLEASE NOTE: Whispercon 2020 is cancelled due to COVID-19 related issues. We are, instead, planning #Whisperfest!   

9:00 am – 5:00 pm,
Wednesday 25 November 2020.

The Whisper Workshop (#Whispercon) brings together twenty people interested in discussing and sharing their expertise. It builds our networks and enables us to share practices and processes. Basically, how – and why – do we do the things we do?

The key theme for the 2020 workshop is wellbeing. 

Past #Whispercons: 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018
