Conference information
Presenter’s information
The lecture theatre (Crown Suite) is equipped with the following audio-visual equipment:
Laptop with PowerPoint facilities (Office XP and Windows XP)
Data projector and projector screen
Lectern microphone
Speakers wishing to use additional audio-visual equipment or intending to present from a Macintosh computer are
asked to contact Lisa Cornwell ([email protected]) before the conference.
Presentations
Speakers are requested to bring their presentations on a USB memory stick in either Office 2007 or .pdf format and
preload them onto the laptop located in the lecture theatre. Speakers should save their presentation into the
appropriate pre-named session folders pre-set on the desktop and files should be saved by speakers surname and
initial.
To optimise compatibility, particularly for the inclusion of multimedia components, PowerPoint presentations should
have been saved using PowerPoint’s “Package for CD” facility. Direct connection of personal laptops (with set up in
the break prior to the corresponding session) is an acceptable but not preferred alternative.
The lecture theatre is reasonably large, and speakers should use a minimum 15-point font size in PowerPoint slides
to ensure legibility.
Presenters are asked to prepare their talks to match the allocated times which will be rigidly enforced.
Poster information
You can mount your poster during the mid-morning break from 10:50 on Monday 15 April 2014. The poster session
will take place on Monday from 18:30. Posters must not be larger than A0 in size and should be a portrait format.
The poster board measures 6ft (1830mm) tall by 3ft (940mm) wide, in a portrait format and therefore if your
poster does not fit within these dimensions, we cannot guarantee it will be displayed. Fixing material will be
provided to mount your poster. All posters must be removed on Tuesday 16 April 2014 at 09:30. Although
organisers will endeavour to save poster material, no guarantee can be made for posters not removed by this time.

Tourist Information
During the conference, delegates will have free time on the Tuesday afternoon to explore London. The conference
venue is situated centrally in the city meaning that there is an incredible amount of things to do and see within the
local area. The Grand Connaught Rooms is situated in the West End which is known for its thriving theatre and arts
scene however this district also offers many of London’s major tourist attractions, shops, street markets, businesses
(in particular the media industry), government buildings, pubs, restaurants/cafes and entertainment venues.
Please find below a list of some of the tourist attractions close to the conference venue:
The British Museum houses a vast collection of world art and artefacts and is free to all visitors. For more
information, please visit: www.britishmuseum.org
The Courtauld Gallery exhibits a collection of art which stretches from the early Renaissance into the 20th
century and is displayed in the elegant setting of Somerset House. For more information, please visit:
www.courtauld.ac.uk/gallery/
The London Transport Museum based in Covent Garden, seeks to conserve and explain the transport
heritage of Britain's capital city. For more information, please visit: http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/
West End theatres – To obtain last-minute discounted tickets for the latest shows such as Billy Elliot and
The Commitments, please visit the ‘TKTS’ building in Leicester Square. For more information, please visit:
http://www.tkts.co.uk/
Covent Garden is an area which was once a site of a large fruit and vegetable market, however now is
popular with tourists for its independent shops, cafes and restaurants. The main square is pedestrianised
and often occupied by street performers. For more information, please visit:

South Bank is an area situated south of the river accessible by either the Hungerford Bridge or Waterloo
Bridge. It was the site of the Festival of Britain in the 1950s and is since home to many cultural institutions
such as National Theatre, British Film Institute, South Bank Centre, The Royal Festival Hall and the Hayward
Gallery. It also offers a wide range cafes, bars and restaurants with views overlooking the River Thames. For
