Culture Shift is conscious that the event is taking place during Ramadan, the programme has been designed to allow for breaks during or as close to prayer times as possible. A prayer room can be provided on the day and arrangements can be made for making the conference catering available to take away at the end of the day for breaking fast. Please let us know on registration if you would like to access any of these accommodations.
