Preliminary programme and registration

Registration is now OPEN. This can be accessed via the Loughborough University Online Store.  There are a number of different rates:

• Early Bird (until April 7th) - £450
• Standard Registration (after April 7th) - £550
• Author rate (until April 30^th) - £450
• PhD Student rate (until 22^nd July) - £100
• Loughborough Staff rate* (until 29^th July) - £50

We fully understand the financial pressures the community is under, and we have worked hard to keep the costs as low as possible.  The costs above cover Registration, refreshments, lunch and Dinner on the 29^th and 30^th, and lunch on the 31^st.  *Note the LU staff rate does not include the dinners, but does include everything else. 

Attendees will therefore only need to cover accommodation and travel in addition to the fees above.  Accommodation on campus can be booked using the following links:

• Burleigh Court (on campus hotel) - Best rate available, typically £108 per night
  • You can also contact the reservation team directly: reservation team via; +44 (0)1509 633033 or beds@welcoemtoimago.com
• Student Halls of residence = £48 per night
  • Booking link to follow soon.

There are of course also private hotels and other options in Loughborough town.  Including the Premiere Inn and Travelodge both of which are in the centre of town and about 20 minute walk.

We are still working on additional entertainment options, and details of these will be made available soon.

Please note that we have a limited number of free places for student (MSc / PhD) attendees when accompanied by a full fee delegate.  Please contact us if you would like to explore this option. 

Finally, all authors who wish to have their work published in the proceedings must have one registered attendee.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Loughborough in July 2025
