In 2008, Liverpool has the honour of being European Capital of Culture. Now, alongside its proud past, Liverpool has a bright future as a modern, cosmopolitan and premier European city with a world-beating reputation. Extensive renovation and building work is taking place across the city in readiness for a once in a lifetime festival.
The hotel's owners have been undertaking a long programme of refurbishment to meet the expectations of visitors, which is expected to culminate in time for next year, so delegates at conference can expect to take advantage of a wide range of amenities and offers including:
Refurbished rooms for all BDA guests, including upgraded bedding and toiletries.The Scientific Programmes Committee will be making full use of the city and the facilities to create an even more packed agenda than we enjoyed in Belfast - including an excursion programme to local landmarks, "Wake-Up" Aerobics Sessions, Breakfast Briefings, Round Tables, as well as plenary sessions and parallel sessions.
