It is a pleasure to welcome you to the third ARCS Symposium, held in person at the Edgbaston Park Hotel, University of Birmingham.

The Symposium will be held on Friday 13^th September, comprising a full day including an evening formal dinner within the registration price. Please see the full conference booklet for full details. We hope that hosting the conference in Birmingham, a city and University with a rich legacy in the field of reproduction, will bring people together as part of our global community.

Numbers for the meeting are firmly-capped at 110 delegates so we suggest early booking to avoid missing out. This will also ensure you can have accommodation on-site.

On behalf of the organising committee, we warmly invite poster abstract submissions from any attendees who may wish to share their work. A local judging panel will select a number of these to invite for oral presentations at the meeting. The Andy Glew prize will be awarded to the presentation judged best on the day.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all to Birmingham.
