There's a small lecture theatre at the OII (around
40 people), a medium one
at Balliol next door (currently around 100 due to rows of tables, could
probably double this if they were taken out, health and safety regs
permitting) and assorted large to gigantic university lecture halls in
walking distance (no more than 15 mins). Other Balliol spaces we could use
include the hall (larger than the lecture theatre, but not ideally suited to
lectures due to benches and tables), assorted seminar rooms, the JCR (large
and informal space with sofas and coffee tables) and we could potentially
also have a marquee in the garden.
Hi Tom, in terms of the lecture space you've outlined, there doesn't
seem to be a large enough lecture theatre which would be used for
closing plenaries/opening sessions. We would need somewhere that holds
*all conference participants at one time* - in other words, if we are
going to have 500 participants, we need a lecture theatre that holds
500. Is there anything in Balliol or nearby that would hold such
numbers?
