Hosted at Exeter College in Oxford, England, UK

EuroForth is consistently the best international Forth conference, attracting people from as far away as Australia, South Africa and the USA. EuroForth 2012 will be held at Exeter College, Oxford. Exeter College is still situated in its original location in Turl Street, and was founded in 1314 by Walter de Stapeldon of Devon, Bishop of Exeter and later treasurer to Edward II. Its peaceful quadrangles and beautiful garden provide an idyllic setting for meetings and conferences, and the College has a long and proud tradition of providing for the needs of such guests.

In more recent times the college has featured in the "Inspector Morse" TV series and scenes in the film "The Golden Compass" based on Philip Pullman's book "His Dark Materials."

EuroForth 2012

The conference offers single ensuite bed and breakfast accommodation in a historic college building with all meals, including a dinner with drinks in the college dining hall, which dates from 1618, and a dinner in a local restaurant.

You are welcome to bring your partners as guests to enjoy Oxford while the delegates do deep technical stuff until late into the night!
