Things to do in Oxford
BIFM are delighted to be back in Oxford once again for the BIFM Conference 2008. The City of Dreaming Spires is famous the world over for its University and place in history. For over 800 years, it has been a home to royalty and scholars, and since the 9th century an established town, although people are known to have lived in the area for thousands of years.
With its mix of ancient and modern, there is plenty to occupy the free time of delegates at the conference, whether its visiting one of the many historic buildings, colleges or museums, going out for a drink or a meal, shopping or just soaking up the atmosphere.
