Can’t make it to London? The talks will be streamed on Google Meet and recorded. The lab tours and the pub are in person only, sorry.

Food

Section titled “Food”

Attendance is free, so unless a sponsor comes forward, please buy or bring your own meals:

  • Lunch: The Works, on the ground floor of the Sir Michael Uren Hub on campus, serves hot food with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options.
  • Dinner: tick “Dinner” when you register, and we will try to book a private space at The Broadcaster, 89 Wood Lane, opposite Wood Lane station - ~£45 a head, paid on the night, but be aware that we will need to pay a £250 deposit, so please let us know ASAP if you can’t make it.
  • Fallback: Westfield London, next to the campus, has plenty of places to eat, but we may struggle to get a large table.
  • Snacks and soft drinks: provided through the day. Soft drinks sponsored by LabCrafter.
