We’re really looking forward to welcoming you and our speakers and sponsors to DeltaV Conference 2018. If you’ve been to any of our conferences before, you’ll know that you can expect brilliant content and a friendly atmosphere. If this is your first time joining us, you’re in for a treat!
We’ve gathered frequently asked questions to help you get the most out of your conference experience. If there’s anything missing, please let us know.
Our sponsors help make DeltaV Conference possible. Pay them a visit in our sponsor hall to find out what they’re up to. There are lots of awesome products to see, some of our sponsors also have SWAG and competitions for you to enter.
DeltaV Conference is taking place at the QEII Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3EE. It’s roughly a 5-minute walk from both Westminster and St James’s Park tube stations. For help getting there, check out our location page or the venue’s website. If you’re in London just for the conference, take a look at the Visit London website for things to do.
Registration will open at 8.30am on Thursday 10 May and 8.00am on Friday 11 May. Tea, coffee, pastries and yoghurt will be available before the first session.
Don’t worry if you are running late. Our staff will stay on the registration desk for most of the morning. We’ll let you slip into the auditorium quietly once we’ve given you your name badge.

Yes! There will be a vegetarian option available during lunch. If you have other requirements (e.g. allergies) and you didn’t let us know when you registered for your ticket, please email [email protected]. During the conference, if you have requested a special meal (other than vegetarian) please speak to a member of staff who will be able to help you.

Yes! We’re recording all the talks and we’ll send you the links to the videos a week or two after the conference, once they’ve been edited. We’ll also gather slides and link them from the talks page.

If you don’t want to be included in published photographs, please pick up a yellow lanyard at registration.
The talks are due to finish around 5pm on both days. Check out the schedule for conference timings.

At the conference, you’ll notice there’s a barcode on your delegate badge. Our sponsors may request your permission to scan your badge so they can get in touch with you after the conference to discuss their products and services. If you agree, the sponsor will receive the following information (if provided when registering your conference ticket): your name, email address, Twitter username, job role, company, company sector, and company size. By allowing our sponsor to scan your badge, you are giving them permission to request this information from us. Please note, we will not give your details to a sponsor unless you approve the request. You are able to unsubscribe from any communications you receive.
Absolutely, we take our Code of Conduct very seriously. You can read in full here. In short: all conference participants are expected to be respectful towards other attendees, speakers, organisers and staff, in person and online. If you feel uncomfortable with the behaviour of anyone at the conference, please let someone in a yellow staff t-shirt know. We will take your concerns seriously and take appropriate action. We reserve the right to ask people to leave if they act against the spirit of this code.
