Kurzbeschreibung: The BFS hosts a major scientific meeting each year. This meeting is normally held in the spring. Every third year (the next one being 2003) the BFS annual meeting is held jointly with the Society for Reproduction and Fertility and the British Andrology Society.

The annual scientific meeting is held over three days and includes plenary sessions, prize paper sessions, short communication sessions and two eponymous lectureships - The Patrick Steptoe Memorial Lecture and the H S Jacobs President's lecture. There is also a poster abstract display. Trade symposia are held and pre and post congress specialist educational workshops are also available to delegates. Prizes are awarded in several categories to the leading short communication (oral). A full social programme is also included. This meeting is planned to be of interest to all constituent groups within the Society.

The BFS also hosts educational workshops. The most prominent of these is the Winter Workshop which is a 1.5-2 day meeting of a more focused nature. This meeting may well have in its content something for the different constituent members of the Society. However because of its smaller more focused nature its content may have a more limited appeal. The structure of the meeting is based around plenary lectures and small group discussions. There are no prize sessions and no short oral communication sessions.

The Society looks forward to the next in its highly successful series of Study days where high profile quality speakers in the field of reproductive ethics will introduce and lead discussion on topics of current concern. This meeting, held in the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists, will be of interest to all clinical, laboratory and counselling staff working in assisted conception units and fertility clinics, members of clinical and research ethics committees, and those involved in the use of the new genetic technologies as applied to reproductive medicine.
