What residents and visitors should know
The Brighton Centre lists an expected attendance of 5,000. This is likely to make the central seafront and nearby hotels, cafés and transport links busier than usual, although no specific travel disruption has been announced in the official information reviewed.
The venue is approximately a 20-minute walk from Brighton railway station. Anyone travelling through the city centre should allow extra time, particularly around the morning opening and evening finish of conference sessions.
