Car

In the spirit of sustainability, we encourage all attendees to prioritize eco-friendly modes of travel and minimize driving to the conference, both to reduce emissions and to alleviate congestion within the city. However, if driving is unavoidable, Cambridge offers three main car parks, with the Grand Arcade car park being the closest to the conference venue.

For further details on parking locations and availability, please consult the Cambridge City Council website.
