Conference Accommodation
Delegates (including speakers) are asked to make their own arrangements for accommodation. We recommend that delegates book their accommodation as soon as possible, and that any queries after the conference regarding accommodation are directed towards the hotel.
We are in the process of putting together the conference programme and will circulate this as soon as it is ready. However, we can confirm that the conference will start around 9am and finish by 6pm each day (the reception and dinner will be on Thursday 8th July).
The following choices are just some recommendations. For details of the large number of hotels in Manchester please consult the following useful website:
