XCalibur 2019

July 15-18 2019 • Winchester, UK

We have received reports of a company calling potential attendees regarding accommodation. This is a PHISHING SCAM. Please do not respond to them. The organisers have NOT contracted any accommodation and travel companies. Please let the organisers know if you receive such a contact.

Accommodation

    All participants are expected to make their own accommodation arrangements. Winchester is a town that caters to visitors, and there are many options for accommodation. But the town can also become busy in summer months, so we recommend not to leave things to the last-minute. Some recommendations are below, and other options will be included leading up to the meeting. If needed, commuting from the city of Southampton (a 15 minute train ride) is also a possibility.
