Itinerary & Logistics
Dear Finalists,
We are pleased to confirm that from 27 April to 1 May, your accommodation will be fully covered at The Clermont London, Victoria, a hotel frequently used for London university alumni and professional events. A number of the hotel’s meeting rooms have been reserved for focused team-planning and prototyping sessions, which will be held separately for the KCL and Imperial groups.
On the morning of 27 April, participants will meet at Waterloo Station, Exit 2, at 09:00, from where we will travel together to the hotel. If you are confident with the route, you are welcome to make your own way directly to the venue and arrive by 10:00 for registration and orientation.
Throughout the programme, breakfast and lunch will be provided each day, with halal, vegetarian, pescatarian and vegan options available.
Please note that this event is designed to support your future academic and professional development, and the schedule will therefore be structured and intensive. Each day will begin with breakfast at 06:30, followed by programme sessions starting promptly at 07:00. Workshops, planning sessions and prototyping blocks will continue throughout the day, with an expected evening conclusion at approximately 20:30–21:00, depending on team progress.
Participants are welcome to continue informal networking in the boardroom spaces after sessions conclude.
Due to the early morning programme start times, participants should plan to remain at the hotel between programme sessions. An opportunity for a group outing is listed below on Friday.
Participants should arrive in appropriate professional attire for all sessions.
Please also note that prohibited substances, including alcohol, cigarettes, and vaping devices, are not permitted during the programme. Participants are expected to follow programme guidelines, checks may be carried out if guidelines are not followed.
Accommodation will be provided in shared twin rooms, rooms assigned by gender. Please email your programme lead (Brendan- ICL and Oleg- KCL) by the 20th of March to confirm who you would like to share with.
If you have any questions prior to the programme, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,
Sara Vardanega
King’s College London
