About Liverpool
We chose the city of Liverpool to celebrate our 100-year anniversary and bring our communities together. The city is easily accessible for UK and international visitors and the main sites are within walking distance of the conference venue. Liverpool may bring to mind football and the Beatles, but you can also enjoy the legendary liver birds not to mention the Superlambanana (an ironic comment on genetic engineering). Liverpool has also earned its place in the history books for many other reasons, such as the fact that Liverpool was where the link between sugar and diabetes was first discovered in 1774, and that the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine was the first of its kind in Britain when it opened in April 1889.
Like The Company of Biologists, the ACC Liverpool cares deeply about offering sustainable conferencing options. Over the next few months, we will be sharing more information about how we make this conference as sustainable as possible. For now, visit the ACC Liverpool website if you’d like to know more about the venue.
