Session choice – how it works
​
At ResearchED events, each session is 40 minutes long. Attendees build their own day using the timetable and programme that is released before the event.
The sessions are first-come, first-serve, so we advise getting to your session well in time or having a back-up session in mind, in case one is filled up.
Sessions are attended by both teachers and speakers. Don’t be surprised if your favourite speaker comes and sits next to you during a session.
​
Lunch
​
A hot lunch will be provided on the day. There will be vegetarian, halal and coeliac options available.
​
Location
​
Carrickfergus Grammar School is located 11 miles outside of Belfast. The school’s address is 120 North Rd, Carrickfergus, BT38 7RA.
​
Parking
​
For those driving to the venue, there will be parking available on-site. Where possible, we recommend car sharing.
