This is entirely informal and optional. Around one half of attendees are early arrivals. There are no reservations and the cost of food and drink is not included in your ticket. Please follow hashtag #gt14uk on Twitter to find out who's arrived, or in case we decide to move locations.

Restaurant & Bar

Please fill in the survey ASAP so we have numbers to reserve some tables at the restaurant.
