SpotOn London Is Now Free To Attend! Join us on the 14th & 15th November

7th November 2014

The SpotOn London team have just announced that they have decided to make tickets to this year’s SpotOn London free!

Why you may ask?

First and foremost, this is a community event and they want as many people as possible to join.

This year, they are very lucky to have generous hosts in the Wellcome Trust who have donated the venue for the weekend and they also have some fantastic sponsors. This has enabled the team to cover some of the costs of this event – and Nature Publishing Group have decided to pick up the rest of the tab. They may not be able to do this every year, but this year they are – yey! So they would like to take this opportunity to thank their sponsors and hosts (which includes Digital Science) who have enabled them to do this:
