Just when you thought we were only digging ancient artefacts...we uncovered some epic dance moves at the conference dinner!!!

Thanks for the laughs, memories and new friendships. Until next time, keep on digging (and dancing). But seriously, a huge thank you to our amazing organisers for putting together an unforgettable conference experience, including those fantastic excursions in the mountain kingdom of Lesotho!
