The past conferences have attracted sponsorship from Microsoft, Intel, CANARIE, Nvidia, Lenovo, the University of Manchester, University of Edinburgh, Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton and the STFC\. The conference venue should have a proven track record in hosting successful, professional conferences\. It should assist in further cementing the UK's position as the global champion of RSEs\. The location of the conference should be reachable by reliable public transport within easy reach of Birmingham and London\.
