Location
The conference is going to take place at Kings College London (London Bridge Campus), Great Maze Pond,London, SE1 1UL in New Hunts House building.

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.
