The conference venue was really welcoming and the staff were helpful. All of the keynote presentations were shown in the main auditorium, but also streamed to two other spaces within the venue so that as many people as wanted to could watch. This was great because it meant that it was easy to find a space to sit and listen.
During the conference day the venue ensured that we stayed fed and hydrated. Mid-morning and mid-afternoon refreshments included cakes, pastries and sandwiches, tea, coffee, water and fruit juice. However, as nice as these refreshment breaks were, lunch stood out - a couple of different hot dishes and a variety of vegetable options and salads, followed by individual cakes and pasties, with your choice of wine, coke, lemonade, fruit juice, water or a hot drink. Additionally, the venue had water fountains around the venue so that attendees could refill a water bottle.
