AM2012 Accommodation (242.78 kB)

On 3 July 2012 there is a major event being held in Southampton - the P&O Birthday Celebration and 7 cruise liners will be in port. This will put a considerable strain on hotel accommodation and you are advised to book as early as possible. We only have 300 en-suite rooms available in the University Halls of Residence so again booking early is essential.

Disclaimer: Please note that accommodation booking is facilitated by Destination Southampton. Inclusion of accommodation does not constitute a recommendation by the University of Southampton or the Academy of Marketing, and the University of Southampton and the Academy do not accept responsibility for arrangements made with Destination Southampton or any accommodation provider.

Conference and Doctoral Colloquium Locations

The Main Conference / Doctoral Colloquium will be held at the Highfield Campus of the University of Southampton.

Car Parking

Throughout the duration of the conference car parking is available for conference delegates, both at the University halls accommodation and the location of the conference. These two locations are very close together (10 minute walk). We will also be arranging bus transport for those who prefer this, so we would recommend parking at your accommodation and travelling to the conference by bus or on foot. For those who do wish to drive, though, we will provide parking on campus. Cars are left at the owners risk and no responsibility will be taken by University of Southampton or Academy of Marketing.

Luggage Storage

We will be providing plenty of luggage storage on campus. This information will be provided at on-site registration at the conference.

Giving a Presentation?

If you are scheduled to present a paper at the conference, please take the time to find where the room you will be presenting is located, and arrive in time to be able to load your presentation and check all is working as expected. We will have designated AV technicians on site who will do their best to resolve any problems. Please bring a copy of your presentation on a USB flash drive and make sure that is it compatible with a Windows operating system. It will be the responsibility of the presenter to load his/her presentation on to the computer in the presentation room. Please do not bring your laptop to present from, as this will cause problems with the other AV in the room.

First Aid and Help during the conference

There will be first aid facilities available and trained first aiders on site during the conference.

Accessing the internet

We will be providing wireless Internet access for all delegates. This is available throughout the campus via our ISS and eduroam wireless networks. Full details will be provided at on-site registration at the conference.

We are flexible with our IT services, so if you have any other needs during the conference, please do speak to one of our team.

Dress Code

The conference maintains a smart casual dress code during the day. You may wish to bring something more formal for the Gala Dinner on the evening of the 5th July. There will be time for you to return to your accommodation to change in between the end of the formal part of the conference and the beginning of the dinner.
