The Conference and Events Team actively seek business opportunities through engagement with academics and external organisations to achieve maximum exposure to increase reputation, profile and income generation
The Conference and Events website provides a public overview of the venues available for events, useful information including floor plans, day delegate packages, sample menus, travel and visitor information. The intranet provides additional information for University staff.
