Review of the conference (forthcoming)
FACE organises an annual conference which has developed into one of the major UK networking and dissemination events for practitioners in access, widening participation, lifelong learning, and continuing education. From this page you can access various abstracts, keynote and workshop presentations, and many slideshows of photographs from FACE conferences of recent years.
The very high level of international expertise in research and practice presented at the FACE conference each year does not mean that FACE delegates don't know how to have fun. Check out some of the slideshows or play a FACE conference quiz to see for yourself!

Quote from a Swedish delegate: "Thanks again for the interesting FACE conference this summer. I just want you to know that as a result of one of the workshops I met with Rachel Burke when we visited Australia earlier this month. We plan to keep in touch and hopefully we might do some research together. It would not have happened if it wasnt for the FACE conference." (Patricia Staaf)
