Venue Information

All rooms are set up with standard IT equipment for conference presentations including computers and digital screens, and connectors for laptops.

You may wish to bring a remote pointer with you or you are welcome to sit at the presenter desk.

Several rooms also have touchscreens. An Edge Hill University colleague will be available in the room to support you at the start of the session.

During the event

Please aim to arrive 5-10 minutes before the panel is due to start, so that you can introduce yourself to the chair.

If you’re in a later session, please try and find the session chair before your session – this makes everything easier. Colleagues at the “welcome” desk can introduce you to your chair if you are having problems finding them, they will be happy to help.
