Conferences

The University of Portsmouth is one of the South's leading universities. The campus is large and varied with a range of halls and complexes: in the town centre, near the sea front and also close to Langstone Harbour.

Like Portsmouth itself, it is this variety that makes the University so appealing... and to so many.

The success of your conference, exhibition or training course can depend as much on the venue as on the content. Set in the heart of maritime England, and with excellent road, rail and sea links, the University of Portsmouth is the ideal place to hold your event.

The University has a wide range of lecture theatres, halls and seminar rooms to meet every requirement. Full, top quality catering services are available, providing anything from small private lunches and buffets to large formal banquets. During the summer, residential accommodation can be provided in halls of residence all within easy walking distance of conference facilities.

There is plenty to do in Portsmouth and Southsea in between seminars and lectures: HMS Victory, HMS Warrior, the Mary Rose, Charles Dickens birthplace and the city's museums are all worth a visit. Southsea's restaurants, wine bars and pubs promote a very cosmopolitan atmosphere in the evenings.
