Question 1

Is the venue accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes there is a ramp into the hall and the exhibitors will be set out to allow wheelchair access to all stalls.  There are disabled toilets. We are working with schools and colleges  to try and ensure that large groups arrive at different times to avoid crowding.

Question 2

Will there be breakout areas?

Accepted Answer

Although there are no rooms directly attached to the hall, there will be a breakout corner and hopefully an area outside with seating. For those who do not like crowding we recommend arriving towards the latter part of the event when it tends to be quieter.

Question 3

Is there parking?
