We would be delighted if you could join us for a meal on the evening of Friday 10th November. Drinks will be served from 7.30pm at Fettes College and dinner will then be served in the dining hall from 8pm.
When registering for the conference and dinner it would be most helpful if you could indicate any special dietary requirements.

Registration will be in the reception at Fettes College from 9am. The general programme for the day is below. There will be some separate sessions for those applicant schools wanting more information about the IB and authorisation process, as well as a session on applications to US Universities for careers advisors.

For those of you staying in Edinburgh on the Saturday night there are some suggested links below about events and entertainment.
