Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: LHR
Book to London Heathrow (LHR) where possible for the shortest transfer to the Bath Road venue. Compare Gatwick (LGW) only if the fare saving outweighs a 60-90 minute rail or coach transfer, and allow at least 90 minutes between landing and the first session for immigration, baggage and transfer. Fares change daily; book early and confirm the airline's baggage and change rules. No official flight discounts were stated in the event capture.

Ride-hail: Uber, Bolt and Free Now operate in London, and Heathrow has designated app pickup zones. Rideshare is useful for the short Bath Road transfer or for early check-in, but surge pricing can apply during peak hours. Confirm the pickup point in your app and keep the journey receipt for expenses.
Public transit: The Piccadilly line connects Heathrow terminals with central London and stops at Hatton Cross and Hounslow West, both useful for Bath Road hotels. The Elizabeth line offers faster journeys to Hayes & Harlington and central London, while the Heathrow Express runs non-stop to Paddington at a premium fare. Use a contactless bank card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or an Oyster card; daily caps apply. Local buses serve the Bath Road hotel strip, and night services are limited, so check the last connection.
Parking: Parking at the Hyatt Place London Heathrow Airport and nearby Bath Road hotels is limited and usually chargeable; confirm the daily rate and whether the car park can be pre-booked. Heathrow short-stay and long-stay car parks are an alternative if the hotel cannot guarantee a space. Do not assume free parking at London hotels.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Allergen immunotherapy
- A treatment that gradually exposes a patient to increasing amounts of an allergen to reduce allergic symptoms and modify the disease course. At an immunology conference it is discussed alongside mechanisms, patient selection and safety monitoring.
- Biologic
- A medicine produced from living cells or organisms, such as monoclonal antibodies, cytokines or fusion proteins. Biologics are central to modern immunotherapy and are a common focus for translational and clinical sessions.
- CAR-T cell therapy
- A cell therapy in which a patient's T cells are engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor that recognises a specific target. Sessions on cell therapy usually cover manufacturing, toxicity management and expansion into new disease areas.
- Checkpoint inhibitor
- A drug that blocks immune checkpoint proteins such as PD-1, PD-L1 or CTLA-4 to restore anti-tumour immune activity. Safety, resistance and combination strategies are typical discussion points.
- Cytokine
- A small signalling protein used by immune cells to communicate, for example interleukins and interferons. Cytokine pathways are frequent targets for therapy and biomarkers.
- Desensitization
- A clinical procedure that reduces sensitivity to a drug or allergen by administering small, increasing doses. It is relevant to allergy practice and to managing reactions to biologic therapies.
- Epitope
- The specific part of an antigen recognised by an antibody, T-cell receptor or B-cell receptor. Epitope mapping supports vaccine design, diagnostics and therapeutic antibody development.
- Immunoglobulin E (IgE)
- An antibody class central to allergic reactions. IgE testing and anti-IgE therapies are common topics in allergy and clinical immunology programmes.
- Inborn error of immunity
- A genetic disorder that affects the development or function of the immune system, ranging from severe immunodeficiency to immune dysregulation. These conditions are a core part of clinical immunology.
- Mucosal immunity
- Immune defences at surfaces such as the respiratory, gastrointestinal and reproductive tracts. It is important for vaccine delivery, allergy and barrier immunology.
- Adjuvant
- A substance added to a vaccine to enhance the immune response. Adjuvant discovery and formulation are key to vaccine development and are often discussed at immunology meetings.
- Autoimmunity
- An immune response directed against the body's own tissues. Autoantibody testing, tolerance restoration and targeted immunomodulation are common themes.
