Watch UKCSJ24 Sessions On-demand
Missed the UKCSJ24? Want to view the parallel session you didn't attend? All video footage is now available.
Do you want to go back to some of the topics discussed at the UKCSJ24, or did you not have the chance to attend one or more sessions? They are now available to watch for all UKCSJ24 delegates and all ABSW members.
Videos are best watched with headphones due to some variable sound quality in certain sessions. Apologies for the low quality of some of the recordings, including the ones when you can hear the speaker but not see them - there were issues with the way these were recorded live at the venue, that were beyond our control.
Captions can be turned on using the Vimeo toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
