For those travelling from afar and needing overnight accommodation, there are some accommodation options close to the event location (CB2 0QH), and plenty nearby Cambridge Train Station (CB1 2JW). We are unable to provide special rates for delegates. Since Michaelmas Term will have commenced, most University of Cambridge Colleges will not have rooms available, but it is worth checking UniversityRooms.com

We look forward to seeing you in Cambridge!
