The overview gives 16:30 finishes, while day one lists an award and close at 16:35 and day two begins closing remarks at 16:15; whole-event end times remain unknown. General venue directions mention a current renovation closure, although the dated event explicitly advertises in-person attendance at Jubilee House; confirm practical access with the organiser.
