Each summer the British Association for Psychopharmacology (BAP) has a Summer Meeting that provides accredited continuing medical education [CME] for psychiatrists and academics. It is hugely popular. A colleague of mine once described it as a “BAPFEST“.
Photographs have been shared by BAP of the 2023 Summer Meeting. [As per previous years] you may notice that there are quite a lot of glasses in hands:
