Travel and accommodation

We strongly advise that you think about making your travel and hotel
arrangements as early as possible. Edinburgh is a very popular tourist
destination so flights, trains and accommodation get booked up very
quickly. May we also ask that you consider the environment when making
your travel arrangements and try to help us reduce the carbon
footprint of our event.

Visit the JISC Conference travel information section to help you plan
your travel.

We are pleased to be working with Reservation Highway to bring you an
online hotel accommodation booking service, with special conference
rates at hotels in the centre of Edinburgh. Visit the 'Book Hotel
Accommodation' section of the conference website for full details.
