Here is small “taster” of some of the talks on offer … but there are others, this is just a few that might appeal to you :

·       Martin Seligman (bridge player and US Professor) is world-famous for his work on happiness and positive psychology. For the first time, he will explore the link between bridge and wellbeing in his keynote on Monday 28 June 16.30 (UK BST)

·       What does the future of bridge look like after a global pandemic? Join in discussions about club bridge, digital and in-person tournaments

·       How can bridge be more inclusive? How can we do more to bring together the generations at the bridge table?

·       New approaches to recruiting and teaching new players will be discussed on day 4

·       World Champion Boye Brogeland is known as 'The Sheriff' for his policing of cheats in the bridge world. He will be discussing online cheating with the World Bridge Federation and Steve Weinstein from Bridge Winners blog (where the cheats have been exposed).
