THE VENUE
Cavendish Conference Centre
(near Oxford Circus and Cavendish Square)
The Cavendish Conference Centre is one of the leading conference venues in the UK.
Why have we chosen the Cavendish for this year's conference? Partly because of its tiered amphitheatre and state of the art conference facilities. But mostly because their food is simply fabulous – way better than most conference venues – and they have free, reliable wi-fi throughout.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

Errr.... yes. It's 2022. But we do ask you not to use mobile devices during the talks, as it's distracting for people around you.
There will be tea, coffee and snacks throughout the day. And one of the reasons we've picked the Cavendish Conference Centre is because they do one of the best conference lunches in London (seriously). You won't be hungry!
Email jennie.hargrove@hrinnercircle.co.uk and she'll help you with whatever you need.
