Hi Tom, in terms of the lecture space you've outlined, there doesn't
seem to be a large enough lecture theatre which would be used for
closing plenaries/opening sessions. We would need somewhere that holds
*all conference participants at one time* - in other words, if we are
going to have 500 participants, we need a lecture theatre that holds
500. Is there anything in Balliol or nearby that would hold such
numbers?
