Reception Venue
The drinks reception is open to all Scientific Meeting (Thursday & Friday) ticket holders. Bristol is an exciting city with a rich heritage. Our reception will be held on Wednesday June 19th at the SS Great Britain which was designed by the greatest engineer of the 19thcentury, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. At the time of her launch in 1843 she was the largest ship in the world, a truly revolutionary vessel and fore-runner of all modern shipping vessels. There will be an opportunity to visit the museum and explore the ship, whist enjoying canapés and a few drinks! For more information please go to www.ssgreatbritain.org
