Music Encoding Conference banner showing scenes from Clerkenwell, London

Venue information

The conference will take place at City St George's, University of London, Northampton Square, EC1V 0HB.

We will be using various rooms in several buildings of the campus, but all of them connect, so we recommend you always use the main entrance on the square itself. The conference registration will be in the atrium.

Teas and coffees will be provided on Tuesday-Friday, and vegetarian and vegan sandwich lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. For other days, there is a canteen on the first floor, but also many nearby lunch options including a large variety of places in Exmouth Market.

Finding your rooms

Helpers and organisers will be on hand to get you to your rooms, and there is also a dedicated navigation app called CityNav. Below is a list of conference rooms and how to get there from the big staircases in the main entrance (near the big 'CITY' sign).
