Social Programme

We plan a variety of social events at the Logic Colloquium 2026. Each event's running is subject to sufficient interest. Social events will run on the afternoon of Wednesday 1st June. The conference dinner will take place on the evening of Thursday 2nd June.

Gower walking trip

We organise an excursion to the Gower Peninsula on Wednesday afternoon, with coach travel from the venue out into this amazing National Landscape. The Gower, which encompasses a breath-taking variety of scenery from beaches and cliffs to hills and woodland, was the first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK, back in 1956. It remains popular with holiday makers, walkers, nature enthusiasts, and many others. See more with the Gower Society.

Whisky tasting at the Penderyn Distillery

As an alternative, if there is sufficient interest, we will organise a tour of the Swansea Copperworks facility of Penderyn distillery, including a tasting. Penderyn was the first whisky distillery in Wales in over one hundred years when it first began producing whiskies in the late 1990s. Since then it has grown to become internationally recognised, winning over 100 Double Gold/Gold/Masters awards in various competitions. The distillery produces a variety of styles but is known for its signature gold colour and light, caramel taste. Find out more at Penderyn's website.

Surfing lessons

We are investigating the possibility of arranging surfing lessons with one of the local surf schools, as this is a popular choice with other conference-goers here. Hang tight for some gnarly info coming soon, my dudes!

Conference dinner

Our conference banquet dinner is booked for Thursday 2nd June at the Delta Hotel by Marriott in the Swansea Marina. We will enjoy a fantastic three course meal in the Gower Suite with a fully-licensed bar available close at hand for a celebration of each others' work and company. Find out more about the venue at the Delta Hotels website.
