We will be putting together a great programme with all the latest research about PWS, including sessions especially for scientists, researchers, care providers, teachers, and parents. We also hope to organise an exciting social programme, which will include post-conference tours for those wanting to see something of the UK after the conference. The venue for the conference is Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge - one of the more modern Cambridge colleges. Cambridge, which is the second oldest University town in England (after Oxford0 is a city full or charm and character.
