Seminars and Events
The Access Collaboration are pleased to present a range of seminars based at a new accessible venue in Canterbury.
Canterbury Christ Church University’s, Enterprise Centre at Hall Place, Harbledown (on the approach into Canterbury near to Motorways and major transport connections) offer very modern bright and airy facilities that meet all our needs as an access organisation. We are especially happy to promote this facility as we have attended and held some very good seminars and events here and have been most impressed with the team.
Hall Place is well equipped, offering formal lecture style facilities, large meetings rooms and break-out rooms. IT and AV equipment can be provided and the facility has the support of extremely good and adventurous catering facilities.
Our last event was fully subscribed and feed-back has been most positive.
