Delegates are invited to attend this optional networking function where you will be able to use this opportunity to mix with your fellow delegates over an informal poolside BBQ buffet.

This is a new initiative/event for the Forensic 2011 conference and a wonderful opportunity to meet other psychologists and make new acquaintances especially if you are attending the Forensic conference on your own. The atmosphere and environment will be very friendly and relaxed whilst enjoying a delicious meal.
