Drinks Reception - Thursday 25th July 2024 

The complimentary Drinks Reception will take place in the Great Hall for conference attendees only. 

Located in the centre of the University of Birmingham, this Grade II-listed red-brick hall was built in 1900 and has welcomed thousands of students for graduation ceremonies across the decades.

Now it inspires delegates and visitors alike as one of the University’s accredited Venues of Excellence. The hall itself features a trompe l’oeil domed ceiling located above its formal marble entrance, bordered by archways that draw the eye to the centre of the room.



Conference Dinner - Friday 26th July 2024

The conference dinner will take place at the Council House. Tickets cost £70 and can be purchased during registration and you can purchase a ticket for a guest also. However, please be aware that children are not permitted within the building. Sorry for any inconvenience. 

The ticket price will include a welcome drink and a 3 course meal.

Located in the heart of Birmingham city centre, the Banqueting Suite at the Council House is one of Birmingham's most prestigious venues overlooking Victoria Square.
