Next year, QAA’s Annual Subscribers’ Meeting will take place on Wednesday 3 June at the Belfast Waterfront conference centre. The event will provide an exciting opportunity for our subscribers to visit this vibrant and historic city, as well as a chance for more of our colleagues in Northern Ireland to join us.
There is no charge for subscribing organisations to attend this event, although attendance will be limited to one person per subscribing institution. Giving advance notice of the date and venue should allow delegates to book cheaper flights and secure suitable accommodation in good time.
Flights should be booked to the George Best Belfast City Airport wherever possible as Belfast International Airport is approximately a 30 minute drive from the centre of town. Information on suitable flights to Belfast are detailed below with the relevant links.
