Situated only 25 minutes from London by train, 10 minutes from the M1 and M25, and 30 minutes from Luton and Stansted airports, the Conference Hertfordshire de Havilland Campus features modern, state-of-the-art conference facilities, conveniently located all on the one site. There is ample free parking available, and Hatfield train station is only minutes away by taxi/shuttle bus.

You’ll be staying in single en-suite bedrooms with everybody who is attending the conference housed within one building, only steps away from the main conference seminar and lecture rooms. Each bedroom offers an internet connection, telephone and small refrigerator.

Conference sessions will take place in one of the purpose-built lecture theatres, with comfortable, tiered seating, air-conditioning and a full host of AV equipment. Power outlets are, however, limited so bring extra laptop batteries! We will be providing an additional room near to the lecture theatre for topping up power between sessions and during coffee/lunch/tea breaks. There are also additional rooms available nearby for ‘quiet’ work should you need them.

The conference ticket includes all meals throughout the day, all available in the on-site restaurant, including a self-service 2-course lunch, a fully-served 3-course dinner, and a choice of full English or Continental breakfast. Alcoholic drinks may be purchased, either with food in the restaurant or in the conference Bar after dinner.

All residents have access to the Sports Village during their stay, also conveniently located within the same campus. Facilities on offer here include a swimming pool, 100-station fitness centre, squash and badminton courts, cricket and football pitches, and even a 12 metre climbing wall.
