UK AVS+UNIRAS USER GROUP

Annual Conference 2000

The University of Birmingham

20-21 November 2000


The Annual Conference

The 2000 annual conference, organised by the UK AVS+ UNIRAS User Group, was held at the University of Birmingham Conference Park from Monday 20th to Tuesday 21st November 2000. The conference is aimed at both academic and commercial AVS and UNIRAS users. Advanced Visual Systems were, as always, well represented by key management and technical personnel, so the conference provided a valuable opportunity to find out about new developments. This years programme was wide-ranging, including presentations from AVS about future developments of their range of software and user presentations describing several applications developed with the AVS products.

The venue

The conference was held in Hornton Grange, on the University of Birmingham Conference Park. Hornton Grange was built during the early years of this century as an Edwardian style gentleman's residence which now stands in its own attractive and peaceful grounds within the Conference Park. It has its own bar and Conservatory Dining Room with modern and highly specified en-suite bedrooms in the adjacent North and South wings. The Conference Park itself is located very close to the University campus. As well as offering ample free car parking it has good rail links with Birmingham International Airport and the rest of the UK. Hornton Grange
