Accommodation
Delegates are advised to make their own arrangements for hotel accommodation. We recommend the Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor (4-star) which is within easy walking distance of the conference venue and ideal for networking and socialising. Preferential room rates can be obtained by making reservations via the Glasgow University Hotel Booking Service. Please make sure to select the "Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor" option.
For alternative nearby accomodation we recommend the Ambassador Hotel (3-star). Both of these have easy access to the city centre and local amenities. University/campus accommodation is sometimes available - please contact the University Accommodation Office. Glasgow is now a popular tourist location, so early booking is recommended.

Training Courses
TMG has organised a pre-conference training course in thermal methods (DSC, DMA, isothermal calorimetry, etc.) to be held at Glasgow University on Monday 2 April, 2007 - click here for course enrolment and other details.
There are reduced course fees for those also attending the conference. Those wishing to take advantage of this offer should indicate this when completing the online conference registration (above).

This will be a superb opportunity to showcase products and developments targetting a committed audience across a broad spectrum of the thermal analysis and calorimetry community. Exhibitor stalls and posters will be set up in the dedicated foyer/exhibition/refreshment area immediately adjacent to the conference hall. Time can be made available for oral presentations of new developments, where appropriate. Please contact the local organisers for further information.
