The Venue

Our event is taking place at the Concorde Conference Centre, a unique venue that houses one of the world's most famous icons. 

Concorce G-BOAC, flagship of the British Airways fleet and aviation legend, takes pride of place inside the purpose-built super hangar. 

Delegates can enjoy tours of the aircraft to get a real taste of what it was like to fly faster tha a bullet... and in the lap of luxury.

Located at Manchester Airport, the venue is easy to access by train, bus or car.
