Conference Accommodation
As Cambridge is both an active university town as well as a popular tourist destination, accommodation in the city can be scarce and expensive, especially in the summer conference season. We strongly recommend booking ahead and teaming up with other attendees to reduce costs.
We have secured a number of rooms in various colleges which will be distributed on a first-come first-served basis upon payment. The options are below.
