Location
BCTCS 17 will be held at the Kelvin Conference Centre in
Glasgow, one of Scotlands purpose build venues. The conference
centre is located in the West of Scotland Science Park and
offers a modern auditorium seating 148, as well as 3 smaller
rooms and a board room seating 25 people, thus making the
centre ideal for BCTCS. Catering will be provided in the
conference centre and we have selected a residential package
which offers on site accommodation (there is a choice between
ensuite rooms and such with shared facilities - however recent
refurbishments move the balance towards ensuite
accommodation).
