We're delighted to announce that the main sponsor of the Annual Conference this year is AWE.  A big thank you to AWE for sponsoring the Annual Conference catering area, Annual Conference app, the Annual Dinner and environmentally friendly notebooks, which will be given out to each delegate.
 
For 75 years AWE has had one mission: to play their part in keeping our nation safe. Since the nuclear weapons programme was established at Aldermaston in April 1950, AWE has been steadfast in delivering against that commitment - through brilliant science and technology.  Their role in nuclear defence, as an arms-length body of the Ministry of Defence, is to design, develop, manufacture, and maintain the warheads for the UK’s Continuous at Sea Deterrent (CASD).
 
AWE’s Nuclear Threat Reduction specialists work with the Government to protect the country from radiological and nuclear threats and their scientists provide expertise to international efforts to monitor the Earth for nuclear testing.
 
Operating across the UK, AWE utilises some of the most advanced research, design and production facilities in the world. AWE has highly skilled individuals, working together in service of their mission to deliver something truly unique. AWE has been named as one of the top Best Big Companies to work for in the Sunday Times Best Companies Awards, as well as gaining recognition in a number of other categories last year.

We'd also like to again thank our other sponsors Mirion Technologies and Gemini Technologies.  Mirion Technologies is sponsoring the Beta Package (card holders and mini programmes) and Gemini Technologies is sponsoring the Alpha Package (lanyards for badges which hold the programmes).
