Conference Programme
Registration will take place in the foyer of the Cripps Court Conference Centre from 2pm. The conference organisers will be preparing the venue until then, so it will not be possible to register before this time. We kindly ask delegates not to arrive for registration before 2pm.
There is a room to store your luggage in the foyer. The first session will start promptly at 2.15pm so we ask that you do not attempt to find your bedroom before the start – there is a 30 minute coffee break at 4.05pm which will give you time to find your bedroom as well as have refreshments.
There is access to the lecture room on the ground floor and on the Gallery level. We will have refreshments and lunch on Saturday in the Gallery on the first floor. There is a lift between the ground and the first floor. There is plenty of space in the Gallery should you wish to relax there between sessions and, depending on the weather, you can also go out into the garden to relax. Toilets are located on both the ground floor and the Gallery level.
