Programme
Full programme will be available in late August.
Conference venue
The conference will be held on the Stag Hill Campus at the University of Surrey, which is located half hour by train from London. The main venue for plenary and parallel sessions will be the Rik Medlik Building (building 18 in blue on campus map below).
Accommodation options
Guildford has a number of hotels in the area which are within walking distance of the train station and close to the town centre. A number of bed and breakfasts and Airbnbs can also be found in Guildford and across Surrey. For more information about Guildford view our location page. Notice that the ETSG conference overlaps with the weekend when students return to campus, hence a number of hotels may fill up quickly. In case, consider staying in Woking (3 minutes by train) or London (areas around Clapham Junction or Waterloo for fastest commuting to Guildford).
