The event, which will be held at the American University of Beirut’s Issam Fares Institute, Beirut (4-5 May) will be fully live audio streamed HERE: http://mixlr.com/issam-fares-institute-aub/. Livestreaming will start tomorrow at 9:30am SA time, with opening remarks and MSF President Meinie Nicholi’s key note address: ‘40 years of working in conflict.’

Full conference programme can be found HERE.
