Informal Drinks Grosvenor Hotel Sunday 9th November 18:30-22:00
The PCSEL and PECS organising committees will be gathered in the lounge of the Grosvenor Hotel on Sunday evening for an informal get together. Workshop presenters and attendees are welcome to join us throughout the evening to introduce themselves and collect their badges should they wish to do so. As this is not part of the official programme, no food will be served, and individuals will be responsible for the cost of their own refreshments.
Welcome Reception Clydeside Distillery Monday 10th November 18:30-22:00
Following the end of the Keynote session, attendees will be transported from the workshop venue by bus to the Clydeside Distillery for the official welcome reception for an evening of drinks, canapes, and merriment. The cost of refreshments is included in the registration fee.
Conference Dinner Òran Mór Tuesday 11th November 18:30-22:00
A sit-down conference dinner will be held at Òran Mór, a short walk from the workshop venue. Dinner will consist of a three-course set menu (vegetarian and vegan options are available), with assorted drinks available at each table, the cost of which is included in the registration fee.
