NOTA International Conference Belfast

Sep

Location: Europa Hotel, Belfast

We will be delighted to welcome you to NOTA’s Annual International Conference in the lovely city of Belfast.

Once again, our programme provides a uniquely rich and varied series of keynote addresses, workshops and seminars delivered by key figures both local and from around the world. On the day before Conference begins, pre-conference seminars offer the opportunity to spend a full day with recognised experts in the field and once again there is an exciting range of presenters and subjects, all with clear research into practice focus. NOTA International Conference provides an unparalleled opportunity for developing knowledge and understanding in this challenging and important area of work.

Conference Venue

This year we are delighted to be hosting our annual Conference at the world famous, 4 star Europa Hotel. Conveniently located in the heart of Belfast city centre. This cosmopolitan hotel offers spacious elegance, luxury and style. Having undergone major refurbishment recently, it is now one of the largest and most luxurious hotels in Northern Ireland.

The location is ideal. The Europa Hotel is surrounded by a variety of shops, bars, restaurants and museums, yet is only a ten minute drive from all major motorways and ferry and air terminals, and with a bus and rail link next door, you truly get the best of both worlds. With the Europa Hotel as your base during conference week, delegates can enjoy easy access to shopping and entertainment, and a wide choice of surrounding hotels to suit all budgets, making Belfast the perfect choice for this year’s conference.
