Updates
Rebekah and I are looking forward to welcoming everyone to the CP 2008 conference this week.
The programme has undergone a few changes and the most recent version is available using the link on the right. Speakers can check the times of their presentations there and confirmation of the rooms for each of the presentations will be available at the registration desk when you arrive. There will be someone available to help you find your room. All the rooms have data projectors, Internet connections and power point.
The registration desk will be close to the main reception area at Craiglockhart Campus.
You will also find a directins pdf here with some travel details. The only difficulty with getting to Craiglockhart Campus from the town centre is the variety of methods and routes available! I would recommend the 23 Bus which passes close to Waverly Railway Station up ‘The Mound’ in Edinburgh – every alternate 23 bus terminates at the Craiglockhart Campus (busses marked Greenbank do not go to Craiglockhart though!). The 27 bus runs a similar route, and is available every 10 minutes, also from The Mound, but does not actually stop in the campus but on the main road outside. But see the attached pdf for lots of other options.
If you prefer to use Google Maps or similar services for directions/maps use the post-code: Napier University, Craiglockhart Campus, Edinburgh, EH14 1DJ
Looking forward to seeing you all there, We have live music booked and a fairly cosy venue in the Grassmarket organised where anyone that wants can gather in the Thursday evening for an informal get together, it would be great to see you there too! Details will be available at the reception desk.

Provisional Conference Programme
A provisional conference programme has been thrashed out! There has been a lot to squeeze in and a lot of factors to take into account including some tricky timing issues so there will inevitably be changes, some speakers have not yet confirmed, others may not be able to make the allocated slot...but we didnt want to keep you waiting any longer:
