For the accommodation item, you will be asked to specify the dates of your reservation at the Checkout. Please bear in mind that this accommodation is available within a window spanning Saturday 28th June - Friday 4th July.

Where at all possible, please decide upon the additional items you wish to book at the point of registering for the conference, as it may not be possible to add these separately after you have paid the registration fee.
