ACCOMMODATION AND ARRIVAL

St Anne’s  College (Woodstock Road, Oxford) is set in its own pleasant campus, with conference accommodation and sessions taking place in adjacent buildings, all within a short walk of the city centre. Accommodation for delegates is in single study bedrooms with either private facilities (ensuite) or shared bathrooms (standard). Tea and coffee-making facilities are provided.

 

Residential delegates should go first to Reception at the College's main entrance, to collect their room keys. Once you have collected your keys and have settled in, register at the Conference Desk in the foyer and collect your badge and conference folder. The first session is at 10.30 on Saturday. Day delegates should go straight to the Conference Desk in the Ruth Deech foyer.

 

Delegates arriving early should check in at Reception, and register on Saturday morning.
