Social activities
We have a packed programme but we think it's important also to network with colleagues in a more relaxed setting. Therefore we have a whole range of exciting social activities planned.
Conference dinner
The conference dinner will be held on Thursday evening in the fabulous setting of the Vermont Hotel overlooking the Tyne.
And more...
Take a look below for some ideas of other events we have planned.
4-D motion ride
Experience every twist, turn, high and low as your seat moves in time to the 3D action on screen in our 4D Motion Ride.
You can expect to be blasted with wind, smoke and water, and you'll even be able to smell the action!
For safety reasons you have to be at least 1.2 metres in height to use the Motion Ride. The ride is also unsuitable if you are pregnant, suffer back or neck problems, have heart problems, have a pace maker or if you suffer from motion sickness. All visitors must be able to sit upright and step up into the seat (with or without assistance from a carer.) Due to the special effects used on the Motion Ride, you and your belongings will get wet. Visitors are responsible for the safe keeping of their own belongings.
Planetarium
The Life Science Centre is home to the most popular planetarium in Britain, and with its reclining seats, it's probably the comfiest too!
Life’s planetarium offers a mix of traditional planetarium shows and creative animated films to explore the wonders of our world. Our Live Skies presenter-led planetarium shows offer the chance to learn about what's happening locally in the night sky.
A great place to learn about space and astronomy: from stars, planets and the solar system, to distant galaxies and comets.
The planetarium is equipped with an analogue induction loop and has spaces for wheelchairs.
