FAQ’s

How many people will be there?

discussion and interaction

Is there a dress code?
For Seminars held at our hotel venues there is no dress code – so it’s entirely up to you!
Most of our delegates attend the seminars in normal business dress but you should wear
whatever you feel most comfortable in. However please note that if you are attending a
MileStone event at any of the IoD (Institute of Directors) venues, a strict dress code does
apply as follows;

IoD Members Directors' Room Dress Code
All IoD premises are a place for business, and in consideration for others, members and their
guests are expected to dress accordingly - at least 'smart casual'. The proprietor reserves
the right to exclude members or their guests if inappropriately dressed - Jeans, T-Shirts,
Trainers, Beachwear are not regarded as appropriate dress. Premises staff have the right to
require members to comply with this, and in appropriate circumstances, to exercise the
Propriertor's rights to refuse admission or require members and/or guests to leave the
premises

Can I park at the venues?
Both the Copthorne Tara and the Radisson SAS Manchester Airport have limited
parking on a first come basis. In London, should the Copthorne Tara car park be full on
your arrival, the adjacent hotel (The Kensington Close hotel) has a NCP car park. None
of the IoD venues offer parking but are conveniently located for NCP and other car
parks. Full details can be found via the links on Seminar Venues. Any parking charges
incurred must be settled by yourself on departure

Can MileStone suggest a hotel for the evening prior to the seminar?
An overnight stay prior to the seminar - especially if you have some distance to travel - will
help you start the day feeling fresh rather than frazzled so you get the most from your day. MileStone are pleased to provide information about hotels conveniently located in the area
but do not accept any responsibility for parking, service, cost or quality. Please call us on
