The MA conference is your opportunity to reach key opinion formers in mathematics and mathematics education. Over 250 members and other interested mathematicians throughout the United Kingdom and abroad are expected to attend, so this is your chance to promote new titles and to support your back-list. You will be in good company.  This year’s guest speakers include leading personalities from the world of mathematics – Steve Abbott, Doug French, Jane Imrie, Bob Sawyer and Sir Peter Williams.

The conference structure provides maximum opportunity to promote your list by locating the refreshment points in the exhibition area.
