Welcome to the IMI Conference 2024
The Conference Team are excited to welcome you in Castle Donington. We have been working hard over the last year to produce a full and varied programme for you to enjoy.Visit the Trade Show on the Friday, where you can talk to the trade representatives and look at the latest equipment and innovations in medical illustration. Alongside this we have four workshop streams offering a wide variety of topics and so there should be something for everyone. The AGM concludes the Friday’s programme, please come along and be part of it. On the Saturday we have two Keynote speakers and the popular New Voices session. After looking back over the years at medical illustration practice, to current day, and future initiatives, the programme will divide into three streams offering a chance to focus on specialist interests.The IMI Awards will be on display throughout the duration of the conference in the Breakout Area.
We hope you enjoy catching up with colleagues and you take the opportunity to make new friends and if this is your first conference, please come and say hello to the conference team.
