Note that registration will be from 10am – 10:30am on each day. This is located in the Grimond Foyer and is the building (The Grimond) which all of the conference events will take place. We have attached a map of the campus and Grimond building is labelled as J6. Please note that in addition to the spaces used for the conference presentations, we also have two rooms (Grimond Room 5 and 6 [GS5 and GS6]) which will be available to those delegates who would like some time out (a quiet room) or would prefer to be away from the main theatre space.
Tickets are still available for The Duck and information about the show and tickets purchases can be found here.
