FAQ

Do I need to pay extra to attend any of the talks and workshops?

No, the talks and workshops are included in the price of your ticket.

Is the venue accessible?

There is a slight incline up into the entrance of the hotel, but once through the door the convention hall, quiet space, workshop room, and accessible toilets are all stair free. Additional toilets are available via a flight of stairs.

Is there a quiet space available?

Yes, there will be a small room as a dedicated quiet space with tables and chairs available. It shares a wall with the workshop room, so there will be some sound coming through from the activity in there.
