I am delighted to update you on the preparations for the Reading-UNCTAD conference, taking place from 5-6 April 2019. concerned about this little socio-political soap opera called Brexit (originally scheduled for 29 March) and how it might affect your plans to attend the conference? Worry no more! The entire British parliament has agreed to postpone leaving the EU until after our conference. This is no coincidence. Mrs May lives down the road, and we had a word. Come and enjoy the chaos that is Brexit! Brexit is described by many as being just like the Game of Thrones, only without the dragons and the gratuitous sex. Best of all, it is likely to last several more seasons, and is free to watch without a subscription. So book your flights, good people, do not worry about endless queues at Heathrow, shortages of toilet paper, or pirates.
