CHAIR’S This is the 13th joint Fertility meeting organised by the Society for Reproduction and Fertility (SRF), the British Fertility Society (BFS) and the Association of Clinical CHAIR’S Embryologists (ACE). The theme for Fertility 2020 is the highly topical area of WELCOME “Reproduction in a changing World”. Indeed, we have organised an exciting programme and international platform to present and discuss current global, environmental, sociological and technological perspectives on this critically important issue. The unique feature PROGRAMME of the joint fertility society conferences is that we ensure that the programme has great appeal to scientists, clinicians, embryologists, nurses and counsellors. I hope you will agree there is something for everyone. The conference includes three eponymous lectures: Anne McLaren Memorial Lecture, the Patrick Steptoe Memorial Lecture and the Bob Edwards Memorial Lecture. These, together with the update sessions, will allow renowned experts to present PROGRAMME their latest data in a wide range of topics of interest to delegates. Fertility 2020 is set to be the most successful yet, having an unprecedented number of abstract submissions and delegates registered. Consequently, competition to present in the parallel, short oral communication sessions was immense. We are ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS also in the fortunate position to have a large number of high quality abstracts presented during the poster sessions and we encourage all delegates to take some time to read this excellent work. & SUPPORTERS The social events are an integral part of Fertility 2020 providing delegates with an excellent opportunity to network and discuss science. Please join us for the welcome wine reception on the Thursday evening and on the Friday the conference dinner will be at the Conference Centre followed by an opportunity to dance to traditional Ceilidh music! An important part of the meeting is the prize giving and this will take place in the last session on Saturday rather than during the conference dinner. We hope you will come and support our prize winners and listen to our inspirational final speaker of the conference. & SUPPORTERS It has been an honour to Chair the Programme committee for Fertility 2020 and the quality of the scientific programme reflects ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the outstanding and diligent work carried out by the representatives of all three societies. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Conference secretariat, Profile Productions and the many sponsors and exhibitors that make the conference a success. It only remains for me to wish you all an enjoyable and scientifically rewarding Fertility 2020 conference.
