At the end of each session the relevant products will be identified from the vendors attending along with the person to discuss them with.

The meeting will be held in the Michael Smith Building at the University of Manchester. This new biological and biomedical research complex is sited at a central location in the University's biomedical corridor, adjacent to Medicine, Chemistry, the Manchester Royal Infirmary, the Manchester Incubator Building and the Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility. Directions to the University can be found here and the building is located in the southern end of the campus as shown on the map (building 71 next to car park G). Be aware that parking at the University will be difficult due to construction work and therefore it is advised to use local accommodation (see below) or public transport.
