Day by day:

All Convention activities take place in and around the Courtyard and George Suite , of the Roxburghe Hotel.

The Speaker Programme covers three days, which we fill with presentations for maximum information and so value for money. We aim to provide up to 11 presentations each day (subject to their length of time) plus the possibilities of a Technical Workshops programme and a special CIPC discussion forum, whilst keeping the level of networking time that we build in as high as possible.
