Friday Night Reception

The BBC Conference kicks off with a welcome reception beginning at 6 PM. A full meal and bar will be offered. Take this time to network with other attendees, reunite with old friends, and forge new connections. Before or after the reception, take some time to explore the hotel's amenities or visit the restaurants and attractions within walking distance as mentioned on the Hotel tab.

Streamlined Conference

Our attendees don't have to worry about getting lost in the conference space or choosing to attend one talk while missing another. With no breakout sessions, attendees can immerse themselves in the full spectrum of presentations. Dedicated breaks and poster sessions allow attendees to visit the refreshment tables stocked with water, sodas, coffee, and tea.

Sunday Farewell

Take your time enjoying the hotel's delicious complimentary breakfast before departing to the first sessions of the day. The conference concludes early Sunday afternoon with the presentation of awards and cash prizes. With the conference hotel being a short 20 minute ride to the airport, attendees will have plenty of time to make it on their flights.
