Venue
AM2009 will be hosted by Leeds Metropolitan University in the Rose Bowl, its new state-of-the-art Business School. The Conference Chair is Professor Stephen Parkinson.
The Rose Bowl
The Rose Bowl, with its outstanding reflective glass centrepiece housing seven lecture theatres, sits at the heart of Leeds Civic Quarter, where the education, business and legal communities of the city and region meet. Its atrium design will provide a light and open space where exhibitors will enjoy direct access to Conference delegates. Refreshments for delegates will be served in the exhibition areas during the Conference.Exhibitors
Display space
All exhibitors will be provided with a table and 2 chairs, and approximately 6 square metres of space for your displays. As this is a new open-plan building and we aim to provide as much delegate access to your stand as possible, sites adjacent to fixed back walls are unlikely to be available. We are, however, happy to discuss your requirements regarding the setting of your stand and offer alternatives. Wireless internet is available throughout the Rose Bowl.
