It would be good to have a few more details so we can choose which day to book as an early bird. I can't afford both days but have no idea which would be best for me. For example are the workshops for beginners? Topics? Do you have some working titles for some of the talks?

Our venue is particularly fitting as this year's theme for our Conference and AGM is 'Environments'. We will be offering sessions covering how your environments affect the visitor experience, how you evaluate environmental factors and what influence environments might have on your work. Monday 4th February will be a day of talks and discussions as well as VSG news and AGM. Highlights include Keynote Speaker architect Gareth Hoskins, particularly known for contemporary yet considered design responses for the reuse of listed buildings, and in the creation of spaces for community, heritage and social purposes. Other sessions will cover a range of topics from innovative work in outside environments to Access in indoor spaces. On Tuesday 5th February we will be focusing on practical workshops. Each delegate will have the opportunity to choose three workshops from a selection of six, as well as the plenary session. Workshops cover visitor studies tools, techniques, projects and findings in a range of environments from art galleries, outdoor spaces, museums, zoos, parks and even digital spaces. Early Bird registration for the whole day event costs just £160 (£100 for full-time students and unwaged). Or £90 for one day only. Booking forms can be found at: http://www.visitors.org.uk/node/511.
