Travel

Re. Railway strikes: We are aware that the upcoming rail strikes will fall across the conference dates and are likely to cause widespread disruption (see link for details re. strike dates and lines affected). Although a reduced timetable will still be running, we would advise that, where possible, conference attendees look into alternative methods of transport or travel the day before to avoid the disruption. Attendees unable to reach the conference due to the strikes can contact the organisers to organise a refund of their registration/dinner costs.  

Accommodation

For planning purposes the workshop will be located within the Fry Building, postcode BS8 1UG. Information on accommodation options can be found by visiting the Visit Bristol website.
