Dyalog '14 - Welcome to '1066 country'
Eastbourne, UK. September 21st - 25th, 2014
The annual global user meeting this year takes place in the town of Eastbourne in the UK, so mark your diaries We are currently very busy calling for papers and planning the workshops and tutorials which will run all of Sunday 21st and Thursday afternoon 25th respectively. The registration page will be released in early June. The venue this year is The Eastbourne Centre (TEC), which was originally built by the TUC (Trades Union Congress) as its conference centre. It is, therefore, a venue that was intended to fulfil largely the same purpose as LO-Skolen in Elsinore. In the past few years, the TEC has been renovated dramatically opened recently as a hotel and conference venue for other guests. Dyalog '14 will be the first international conference to be held at the TEC and the Management team is very keen to ensure that we get great service as part of yet another inspirational user meeting.http://www.theviewhoteleastbourne.com/
Our delegates will be visiting a geographical area steeped in dramatic history. In Roman times, Pevensey Castle – just 5.3 miles down the road – was a firm stronghold, and the fortress ruins and the walls around the keep still stands to this day. In 1066, William the Conqueror armed his forces and sailed across the 'Narrow Sea' – to make landfall at Pevensey. From here he marched his troops along the coast to Hastings some 15 miles to the East. He then positioned his army near Battle, 6 miles to the north of Hastings, where the world famous Battle of Hastings took place between the Saxon army led by King Harold and William's Normans on October 14th 1066. Eastbourne is also home to Beachy Head - the highest white cliff in England. And just 30 min away by train you will find Brighton. You could hop off the train in Lewes – the old Capital of Sussex. Lewes is well worth a visit, and offers both a castle ruin (and a modern day prison) as well as a very steep high street with many antique shops. Back in Eastbourne you will find one of the most beautiful sea fronts in the UK. The promenade is more than 4 miles long and paved. Ideal for roller blading, and walks/runs. But no Cycling!
