Venue: Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, UK 

18ECF will be held at the Emirates Old Trafford, the cricket ground in Manchester, UK (note, NOT the football ground). This is next to Old Trafford tram stop with links to Manchester Airport and the centre of the city.

It is slightly outside the city centre, but easy to get to from airport as well as Manchester Piccadilly train station. The tram system (called Metrolink) has a contactless tap in/tap out system system, black cabs can be found at the taxi ranks at the train station and airport, Uber/Lyft also operate in the city. If you are driving, there is complimentary parking for 18ECF participants on-site.

Hotel accommodation

The 18ECF meeting venue is directly attached to The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. We have negotiated a conference rate of £120 per night including breakfast for the duration of the meeting and a couple of days either side. Book here. 
If you prefer, there are many options to stay in the city itself, within a 15-20 minute tram/Uber ride.
 - We have secured some discounted rates with a selection of hotels through Marketing Manchester Convention Bureau - you can explore the city centre options here.

Book early as the allocations are limited and the conference rate will expire 1 October!
