From 2 April 2025, EU, EEA and Swiss citizens (except Irish citizens) will need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to travel to the UK.
-
You are permitted to attend conferences on a Visitor Permit.

For more information, check here if you need a visa.

If you require a visa invitation letter to support your visa application, please email us at hello@ministryoftesting.com with your passport details and we will issue a letter for you. Letters will only be issued to those who have a ticket purchased.

Venue and logistics
Is the venue fully accessible?
The Brighton Dome's venues are fully accessible: the building is equipped with lifts to every floor and wide doorways, allowing for easy entry and exit. Additionally, the conference rooms are designed to provide ample space for manoeuvring, with seating areas that are adjustable and easily customizable. We take pride in making sure that all of our attendees can enjoy the conference in comfort, regardless of any accessibility requirements.
Is there a cloakroom at the venue?
Yes! It is located on the 1st floor of the Brighton Dome (accessible by stairs and lift). The cloakroom is staffed at all times during the conference by Dome staff. You will be given a ticket to claim any items back. The Dome and the MoTaverse are not liable for any items going missing.
Is there a dress code?
Come dressed in whatever you like as whoever you are.
Participation and experience
Do I need to book a workshop in advance?
All workshops run on a first-come first first-served basis, so no advanced booking required.
Do I need to bring my laptop?
We recommend checking the sessions descriptions for any prerequisites. These are constantly being updated, so make sure you check before you pack to Brighton.
What else do I need to bring?
We highly recommend a battery pack to charge your phone and if you're travelling from abroad, an adapter to UK plugs.
