I have uploaded the meeting videos to the BAA YouTube channel. I provide links below for easy access. I divided the meeting into the 3 sessions, and in the YouTube video descriptions there are links so you can jump to each of the talks.
Unfortunately there were a few IT issues on the day so the recordings are not perfect. The first few minutes of the introduction were missed due to a recording issue, and then one of the microphones failed for the start of Paul Leyland’s talk. I have left all of Paul’s talk as you can still see the slides before I swapped his microphone.

Session 1 (morning) – https://youtu.be/XIIO4Wbi6Rw
Session 2 (after lunch) – https://youtu.be/GmV6uenWiUM
