THE CONFERENCE LOCATION AND VENUE

________________________________________________________

LOCATION

VENUE

From the outset Robinson College was planned with the needs of conferences very much in mind. The College Building is architecturally striking and highly functional. Set within several acres of wooded gardens yet only a few minutes from the city centre, Robinson College, offers facilities found in a modern hotel. It owes its foundation to Sir David Robinson who founded Robinson rentals, one of the first television rental companies. Building began in 1977 and Her Majesty the Queen officially opened the college in 1981.

REGISTRATION AND SESSIONS

The parallel sessions will be held in the Umney Theatre, and Music Room. The registration desk will be placed in the Umney Lounge close to these lecture rooms. JCR and the Umney Lounge will be used for the Exhibition and the Umney Foyer for Tea and Coffee Service. A detailed cross-section of the building can be seen here. More information on meals can be found under the social programme.
