4 April members of the Executive Committee visited the venue for IEA’s triennial congress (23-25 August 2027) within the London’s ExCel Centre. ICC Capital Suite at the east end of the Centre is entirely on the third floor and provides world-class conferencing facilities complemented by skylights in central sections and views on two sides! On-site food within the centre is excellent.

Access is easy via two transit lines (Elizabeth Line of the London Underground – Custom House station as well as the Docklands Light Railway – Prince Regent station) with escalators and elevators available. Many hotel options at various price points within an easy walk.
