Location

The conference is going to take place at Kings College London (London Bridge Campus) in New Hunts House building. Its really easy to get to with good rail, bus and tube links (London Bridge). The conference room is G4 which is on the ground floor near to the main entrance.

Tickets

We've got space for approximately 50 people and it'll be on a first come first served basis. Tickets are £20, this goes towards hiring the venue and food etc, any left over money will be donated to BATC and other service we use. For those who are unable to attend we'll be streaming the whole day - we've learnt a number of lessons from the first conference so the quality should be a bit better. As usual chat will be on #highaltitude.

To book your place please visit: http://randomaerospace.com/ukhas/2012_UKHAS_conference_payments/Pay_Here.html - identical setup to last year, your name will be added to the list (though not automatically so check back in 24hrs or so)

Contact

We are still looking for more people to talk and also suggestions for workshops that people would like to see so get in touch either on IRC or this mailing list.
