Cambridge, UK - 18th June 2011. For immediate release.

Thanks to everyone for their support, assistance and encouragement.

The UK Chairperson, Michael Davey, added "I would especially like to thank the speakers for their commitment and contributions - I'm sorry that you didn't get a chance to present your papers in Edinburgh."
