FINAL CONFERENCE 3-4th JULY




With just over a week to go until our final conference, we wanted to post some important information regarding the schedule and travel arrangements.

The conference starts at 1000 on Thursday 3rd July with registration from 0930. Registration, and the majority of sessions, will be in the Business School - the Richard Morris Building - at Loughborough University. This is marked as 60 on the campus map, in the Central Park part of campus.

There are directions for accessing the campus here. There will be parking on campus and you will be directed to visitors parking upon arrival at the main entrance security barrier. Please note this is likely to be on car park 9, some 5-7 minutes walk from the Business School, so if you required a disabled or reserved parking space you should let us know in advance. The bus service from the station will be operating, but as it is out of term time it will be less frequent than usual. A taxi from the station should cost around £5.00.

Those who are being provided with accommodation will be provided with information about where and when to check in upon arrival at the conference. Those who have yet to book accommodation can access a list of local hotels here

A buffet lunch will be provided on both the 3rd and 4th of July and there will also be free food and entertainment on the night of the 3rd July from 1830 (in the Fusion Bar, Loughborough Student's Union). There will be a cash bar available for the purchase of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at this social event.

The provisional conference programme is available online to download here. The conference is scheduled to wrap up at 1615 on Friday 4th July.

We look forward to seeing you there, but please email Maggie or Phil with any queries you might have. Thanks!
