Guidance on discounted late bookings
The Organisers have endeavoured to obtain the best rates possible on the basis of block bookings. However, it may be possible for individuals to obtain cheaper rates if bookings are made shortly before the Conference, either via agencies on the Internet or direct to a hotel. If you decide to make your own arrangements for accommodation, your request for rates for late bookings should be directed to the hotel of your choice and will be subject to availability.
Venue
Belfast is said to be one of the UK’s most vibrant and expanding cities, whilst also being a gateway to the glorious countryside of Ireland. Belfast itself is compact enough to get around on foot, but large enough to incorporate numerous world famous and unique attractions, as well as shopping centres and museums. Belfast is served by an excellent infrastructure of buses, including fast and frequent transfers between the city centre and the international airport.
Birthplace of the Titanic, Belfast’s industrial heritage has shaped the city. The yellow Harland and Wolff cranes are a very recognisable part of the skyline as well as a symbol of busy industrial times past. The Murals from both sides of the religious divide are now on bus routes for tourists to see. The award-winning Ulster Museum offers several floors of Irish and international interest, against an impressive modern back-drop.
Within a couple of hours, visitors to Belfast can travel to the Giant’s Causeway or the Mountains of Mourne, as well as to many other picturesque villages or world-class golf courses, all of which enables the visitor to discover a little of the beauty of Northern Ireland.
By way of SOM ASM 2011, we hope to offer the opportunity to delegates to see and enjoy Belfast. We have a range of Workplace Visits relating to Belfast sites and industries, golf on offer at the Malone Golf Club and social events in central Belfast.Â
Why not come and see a city which has changed significantly over recent times?
