The Great Debate 2012

Professor Justin Cobb and Dr Andrew Shimmin, Chairmen of the Great Debate 2012, are pleased to announce that the event organisation is well underway.  Our imposing international and local faculty confirmed so far;  Bill Maloney, Dolf Lombardi, Paul Beaule, David Morgan and Henrik Malchau.  We will be using the very latest in interactive technology, which will make the meeting buzz. This site will be updated regularly as there is more to announce, so please keep checking here on a regular basis.

"This event is always fun to be involved in, but this year is even more of a joy as my team The Musculoskeletal Section, here at Imperial College London are organising the debate and event as a whole. It is a great honor to have been passed the challenge of continuing its success, which over the last five years has been run very efficiently by different industrial companies with some input from Andrew and myself.  It will follow the same format as previous years with audience interaction and voting on the different debates.
We look forward to seeing many of you who have attended the event in the past and welcome any new comers."

 "As always it is a great pleasure being involved, giving input in to the event from the other side of the world. It is really important to us that we make it as engaging as possible and open to everyone from all corners of the globe. This year will see some changes, not least with Imperial College London organising it, but also a change in date and venue. We already have enormous support from Industry, who will be showcasing their emerging technologies at the event.
I hope that the new independant organisation of The Great Debate may realise our aim of making it a 'moving' debate, held in different locations across the world."
