Description
The theme was‘Evidence, Accountability and Transparency’, with an emphasis on the development of policy and regulatory responses to the changing landscape, where SNP continued to grow in terms of use and acceptance; and the need for transparency in institutional and personal positions within this process.
In his introduction to the event, conference chair David Sweanor summed this up, ‘We face huge opportunities but also significant potential threats, and all of it while dealing with beliefs that are often both entrenched and ill-informed. There are hundreds of millions of lives, hundreds of billions of dollars and ultimately the reputations of many groups and individuals at stake. Getting a strong grasp of the facts and the key players involved is an essential step in moving in effective directions’.
We were delighted that we were also able to host the European premiere of Aaron Biebert’s landmark documentary, ‘A Billion Lives’, in Warsaw’s iconic Palace of Culture.
