The main venue for AHM2008 is Appleton Tower at the University of Edinburgh. Appleton Tower has recently undergone a £5.5m refurbishment. The result – 5 state of the art lecture theatres together with teaching studio, seminar space and extensive concourse facilities suitable for a range of activities, all under one roof.

    

The two largest theatres can link electronically to allow plenary sessions for up to 600 delegates. All theatres feature seats with foldaway work surfaces and the latest in audio visual systems and controls. These include:

• Touchscreen AV control panel
• Dual video/data projection
• Wireless networks
• DVD/laptop/VHS streaming
• Thermostatically controlled comfort cooling
• Induction loops
• All facilities compliant with the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act)

The main concourse provides up to 560sqm double height space with natural light from a glazed roof; ideal for events.

We will be utilising the brand new Informatics Forum Building adjacent to Appleton Tower for registration and booths and of course we have sole use of the e-Science Institute a short walk from the main venue.
