This year, we’re excited to run our first multi-institution conference with our three hosts in Glasgow: the University of Glasgow, the University of Strathclyde, and Glasgow Caledonian University.
The University of Glasgow
The University of Glasgow is Glasgow’s Ancient, Russell Group university and was founded in 1451. Based in Glasgow’s West End, the University of Glasgow campus can be found primarily along University Avenue (G12 8QQ).
Conference events on Tuesday will take place in the James McCune Smith Learning Hub and the Boyd Orr Building on University Avenue (near to Byres Road). The buildings are connected and are fully accessible from University Avenue, and there are numerous lifts and escalators within the building to reach upper floors.
The conference breakfast will be held in the Wolfson Medical Building Atrium, located across the street from the James McCune Smith Learning Hub.

The University of Strathclyde
The University of Strathclyde is a research university located in Glasgow City Centre. The original institute was founded in 1796 and became a chartered university in 1964. It is Scotland’s third-largest university based on student enrolment.
The Wednesday morning and lunch activities of ALDCon24 will take place in our award-winning conference facilities within the Technology Innovation Centre, 99 George Street, Glasgow, G1 1RD. View the AccessAble guide for the building.
Walking between The University of Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian University
There are two walking routes to take you between venues. One is a direct but hilly route, taking 15 minutes. The other route takes 20 minutes and is an easier and more scenic route.
See the map for details.
Luggage will be transported between the two venues on Wednesday.
All luggage will be transported from University of Strathclyde to Glasgow Caledonian University by a van collection. The van will be collecting the luggage at 12.45pm. Please ensure your suitcase is placed in the luggage area at the University of Strathclyde, on the level 3 mezzanine. This is also the same location for registration and catering.
Glasgow Caledonian University
Glasgow Caledonian University is Glasgow’s post-92 university. It is located just behind Buchanan Bus Station on Cowcaddens Road.
Conference events on Wed afternoon will take place in the Centre for Executive Education (CEE) building (parallel sessions; no 7 on the campus map) and the Govan Mbeki building (no. 4 on the map).
View the Glasgow Caledonian University campus map.
Accessible entrance to the Govan Mbeki building is via a ramp to the right of the main stairs. The CEE building has a level entrance, from where a lift provides access to other floors.
