Social programme  

We are thrilled to present a packed social programme for SAPC ASM 2024! On the opening evening, Wednesday 3 July from 18:30-20:00, we have exclusive hire of an exhibition at the Royal West Academy, the venue for the conference drinks reception. This will be a fantastic opportunity to network while enjoying drinks and canapés, complemented by a live performance from the Amati Quartet Bristol (organising committee member Jess Watson’s quartet string quartet).

On Thursday, 4 July from 19:30 to 01:00, we look forward to you joining us for the main conference dinner at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery—the social highlight of the SAPC year! We've secured exclusive hire of the museum, starting with welcome drinks followed by a delicious two-course meal accompanied by table wine. We have a packed entertainment schedule including a visiting magician, a live band (that take requests) and a photobooth style area with an array of props. Join the fun by competing in our best photo contest!

We also have many additional social events including a conference run on the Thursday morning, Tai Chi session and meditation class. Finally, if that’s not enough for you, the conference team have compiled a list of additional activities they recommend in Bristol which include:

  • Walking up Brandon Hill
  • Swimming at the Bristol Lido
  • Visiting the Clifton Suspension Bridge
  • Visiting The SS Great Britain
  • Visiting The Matthew of Bristol
