Conference Programme

See below for the conference programme and downloadable presentations.

Conference Venue

The registration and first day of the conference will be held at the York Marriott Hotel www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/travel/qqyyk-york-marriott-hotel, it overlooks the racecourse and is a short drive from the city walls. It is easily accessed by car or within a short taxi ride from the railway station. Leisure facilities include an indoor swimming pool, sauna, whirlpool, air conditioned gym and a beauty spa.  All rooms are en suite and WI-FI access is available.

The conference will be opened by Dave Rowley the Education Director of the BLOODHOUND SCC Engineering Adventure www.bloodhoundssc.com.

Early Thursday evening there will be a tour of the National Railway Museum (NRM) followed by an atmospheric dinner in the Station Hall where we will dine amidst luxurious carriages and historic locomotives set against a back drop of a period station www.nrm.org.uk .

We are holding the Friday programme at the National STEM Centre www.nationalstemcentre.org.uk. This provides a fitting backdrop to the theme of the conference. At the heart of the centre is a purpose built resource centre, housing an extensive collection of support materials. The collections range across science, design and technology, engineering and mathematics for the 5-19 age group.

Late afternoon we will return to the hotel for our Annual General Meeting and Conference Dinner which will take a Yorkshire theme.

Conference delegates depart following breakfast on Saturday providing an opportunity to enjoy some leisure time in York.

We hope you will be able to join us in York during April

Sponsorship Opportunities

Several opportunities exist for sponsors to support aspects of the Conference programme. Please email conference@naaidt.org.uk for further details.
