The conference will be held at the Stirling Management Centre which is
situated on the University of Stirling campus (and which is also an hotel).
Delegate numbers for this conference are strictly limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Given that interest in this event is expected to be high, prospective delegates are encouraged to register early. The full registration fee is £50, which includes lunch on both the Saturday and the Sunday, tea/coffee throughout the conference, and the conference dinner on the Saturday night (including wine). A reduced registration fee of £40 is available for those who do not wish to attend the conference dinner. A registration form can be found on the conference webpages.
There will also be a pre-conference dinner on Friday 19th November for those who have arrived early for the conference (and also a pre-conference talk that is open to all, whether registered for the conference or not – for more details see the conference webpage). This will cost £25 per head, which includes wine and transportation costs between the Philosophy Department and the restaurant.
