The Conference will include in-depth, practical sessions on registration and fitness, complaints, inquiries and extraordinary hearings, disciplinary hearings, appeals, and reviews, and a panel of regulators from a cross-section of professions discussing the challenges they have overcome and are currently facing. A detailed Agenda (updated May 16) is available here.
