By public transport

The ICC is a short walk from Lanyon Place Station, and the Waterfront bus stop is right outside the venue and serviced by a large number of routes. We suggest using the Translink app to plan your journey.

By bike

There are cycle hoops outside the Waterfront Hall entrance of the building, and the Waterfront Belfast Bike stand is also directly outside the venue.

By car

Discounted parking is available at the APCOA Lanyon Place car park (note NOT the Oxford Street car park adjacent to the Waterfront Hall - it’s a little further along Lanyon Place). To avail of the discounted £10 day rate, visit https://citycentre.apcoa.co.uk/ and prebook using the following details:

  • Select parking location Lanyon Place
  • Choose Day Parking (£20)
  • Select date and time for entry and exit
  • Enter promo code con10 to reduce the price to £10

Food and drink

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available during registration and again during the afternoon break.

A light lunch will be provided at 12pm. A separate station will cater for attendees with allergies - look for the Allergen Champion wearing a green apron.

Water will be available throughout the day - please bring your own refillable bottle if you can.

  • A staffed cloakroom is located on the ground floor.
  • Childcare is on the second floor and will be there all day - those who have booked childcare places please take your children up when you arrive to hand them over to the carers.
