Evening Reception

All conference delegates are invited to join us for an informal networking evening on 12 March in Glasgow’s spectacular City Chambers.

The City Chambers was designed by Glasgow trained architect William Young and was opened by Queen Victoria in August 1888. The building has four floors and provides space for working offices and the hosting of civic functions. The exterior of the building is ornate and is a main feature on the city’s George Square. Its design includes Queen Victoria on her throne surrounded by emblematic figures of Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. Sculptures depicting Truth, Riches and Honour are also included as are statues depicting the four seasons. The imposing building promotes the economic importance of Glasgow and especially the role the River Clyde had in exporting goods worldwide.

Following an address by the Lord Provost of Glasgow, and a reply from IBioIC CEO Mark Bustard, conference delegates are invited to enjoy drinks and light snacks in a relaxed and informal setting in the heart of one of Glasgow’s most famous locations.
