*Location and venue

Our conference location is Bradford, West Yorkshire is the UK City of Culture 2025, home of the youngest and most diverse population of any city in the UK, and a wonderful place to visit.  Connected by train with two major stations, and with Motorway link too, accessibility will be straightforward from all points of the compass.  For international travellers, Leeds/Bradford airport is a short journey away, as is Manchester International for anyone travelling from beyond European shores.

Our Conference host venue is Bradford College.  We will be based at the Brontë Theatre in the brand new David Hockney building.  One of the benefits of being in a college is we will have access to lots of classrooms so workshop proposals will be easy to accommodate.  We also have our own private space for coffees, lunches and those all-important conversations.
