Travel
The conference venue is a 15-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley station. See below for a list of excellent guides that provide information on how to get to Edinburgh and where to go once you’re here:
Accommodation
A number of committee members are willing to provide accommodation for the duration of the conference, so please do get in touch with us via email (lel-pgc@ed.ac.uk) as soon as possible if you are interested (especially as places are likely to be limited). There are also plenty of hotels, hostels, and B&Bs in the area.
Registration
There is no scheduled registration period. However, someone will be on hand to greet you just outside the lecture room from 9am onwards. To get to the lecture room, take the lift or the stairs to the third floor. The conference organisers will be wearing pink badges, so look out for those if you need to speak to us.
Facilities
During the day, attendees are welcome to make use of the common room on the 7th floor of the Dugald Stewart Building where there is seating and limited kitchen facilities. Refreshments will be provided here throughout the day.
Wi-Fi access is available across the whole campus via Eduroam. If you have any difficulties accessing this, please let one of the conference organisers know and we’ll do our best to help.
The lecture room has a projecter and a computer with Microsoft PowerPoint. There is also a VGA cable for direct use with a laptop. We have various Apple adaptors (but we recommend bringing your own just in case). If you have any technical requirements (e.g. audio or PA-system), please let us know in advance of your talk.
If you need to print something (e.g. flight tickets or handouts), please let one of the organisers know and we’ll be happy to do this for you.
The Dugald Stewart Building is very accessible to wheelchair users, but please let us know if you feel you may have special requirements.
