The eighteenth PopFest Conference was held at the University of St Andrews in association with the University of Dundee, from 28th to 30th June.

The two keynote speakers, Tomas Sobotka and Catherine de Wenden, attracted a good and appreciative audience, and the postgraduate presenters delivered a range of interesting and diverse papers, each session ably chaired by fellow post-graduates. The most valuable element for the post-graduates was feedback from the floor and follow-up discussion stimulated by each presentation.
