Should tracks wish to spend longer working in their tracks, we can offer additional space on Saturday 17th of June, however we are unable to facilitate additional room space for tracks to work on Wednesday 21st June due to campus preparations for a new event. Please contact the Conference Co-chairs directly if you would like to request a dedicated room/space for your track team to pre- work on Saturday 17th June (subject to availability).

Given that this conference includes all-day working sessions, typically attendees do not travel with their partners/families. We are therefore suggesting to attendees that an off-campus hotel would be more appropriate if they are traveling with their family or partner (see the Accommodation off campus tab above).
