Delegates will be able to use a shuttle bus service from the Radisson SAS Hotel to the Science Centre and back. Dress Code: Informal.

Drinks: House wines, orange juice and mineral water will be offered by courtesy of the Lord Provost of Glasgow. A limited cash bar will be available. Buffet: A unique international “bowl-food” stand-up fork buffet will be served. Bowl Food is a new concept designed by the famous Leith’s Caterers as an ideal way to have a small taste of several dishes from an extensive menu instead of being restricted to one choice per person. All of the Bowl Food has been specifically created to fit into small bowls from which it is served. The staff will circulate with the bowls of food on a tray, allowing for uninterrupted networking and conversation without queuing at a buffet. A choice of meat, fish and vegetarian options will be available. Exhibits: Delegates will be able to interact with numerous practical exhibits and displays. Bus Shuttle Service: A shuttle bus service will operate from the Radisson SAS Hotel to the Science Centre from 18.30 until 19.30, returning between 21.00 and 22.00.
