Facility tours

One of the highlights of the Westcott Expo, is the opportunity to join a tour of different site facilities and meet Space Cluster companies.

If you indicated you would like to join a tour during the registration process, a tour schedule will be provided for you on the day. Please wear comfortable footwear.

The Westcott site is large, and so the tours will involve shuttle bus transfers and short walking transfers between sites. Please stick to your tour schedule, as tour locations and timings are carefully planned to ensure as many attendees as possible can take advantage of the tours available.
