VATSIM-UK Live! 2016

[Kris Thomson]

 

We are delighted to announce that this year’s VATSIM-UK Live! event will take place on the weekend of the 29th, 30th and 31st of July at Conference Aston.

 

Live! is an annual real-world social event which is organised to allow VATSIM members, be that Pilots or Controller’s, to meet and work alongside each other. During the event, attendees will be working together in close proximity, which adds a new element to "as real as it gets".

 

As this is a special year (our fifth anniversary!) we have a few surprises for you, including an event on Friday evening. More information to follow on that soon!

 

Our venue, Aston Business School, is home to a purpose-built conference centre and on-site hotel with plenty of space, and high-speed Internet for us to use. It's a great location in Birmingham city centre, close to road, rail and air links. During the weekend, we will be focusing ATC services at major (and not so major) airports so that members not in attendance will be able to enjoy the weekend too.

 

Tickets are priced at £38 for the weekend, or £25 for one day. We have also worked with Conference Aston to provide options for on-site accommodation (incl. breakfast) at a slightly better rate than in previous year’s. Full details on the pricing and the structure for the weekend will be available soon on the Live! website.

 

In continuation from last year, on both Saturday and Sunday, lunch will be arranged at a local restaurant; which will provide delegates the opportunity to socialise away from the event room. This is optional but will be a great way to get to know other delegates at the event.

 

Tickets will be go on sale in the next few weeks and will be available to any VATSIM member. We look forward to seeing new (and not so new) faces at this year's event. The number of places is limited, so when the tickets are available, please book early to be sure of a place!
