Social programme

NEW! Icebreaker ReceptionSunday 11 September 2011, 17:00 – 19:00 hrs, exhibition area The icebreaker reception is an excellent way to kick off the week. Get together in an informal setting where drinks and snacks will be provided. Please bear in mind that the icebreaker will take place on Sunday evening. Enjoy!

Conference EveningThis year’s conference evening will be held at Athena, originally designed in 1936 as an Odeon Cinema. These days the Athena represents one of the largest, most extravagant buildings in the region, right in the centre of Leicester. Different local and exotic dishes will be on offer to reflect the multicultural society Leicester is today. It is easy to access and at a 20-minute walk from the venue. All full delegates are invited.

Exhibition and sponsor programme

Near Surface 2011 includes an exhibition and sponsor programme. The exhibition will be held on the lower ground floor and ground floor of the venue. Already 25 companies have signed up as exhibitor and occupy about 200 square meter of exhibit space. On Monday 6 September field demonstrations are scheduled for live and interactive product demonstrations.

Participating in the exhibition and/or sponsor programme will give you high visibility in a high quality and uncluttered environment that makes your message stand out. It is still possible to participate in both programmes! Please have a look at the Near Surface 2011 website for all available exhibition and sponsoring opportunities or contact us at [email protected].

Supported by

A Fugro Aperio seismic crew will perform a live demonstration of mul-

tichannel reflection acquisition with a state-of-the-art vibroseis unit

within the grounds of Victoria Park from Monday 12 through Tuesday

14 September; processed data will be shown at the Fugro Aperio exhi-

bition stand at the entrance to the Geology Department.
