Registration
Note that this is a workshop rather than a conference: the emphasis
will be on friendly but rigorous discussion of the speakers' work in
progress. In order to maintain the workshop format, there will be a
limited number of places for people who are not speaking. These places
have now been allocated.
The workshop is now full and regstration has closed. For all enquiries, please contact James Wilson.
Accommodation
Unfortunately we cannot book accommodation for people who are not speaking at the workshop, but you can find details of local hotels here and here.
