Your 2027 venue:
Doubletree by Hilton Brighton Metropole
For our 10th instalment, we're returning to the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole, our home on Brighton's iconic seafront. With its spacious exhibition areas, dedicated conference facilities, and stunning coastal location, it's the perfect setting for two days of learning, networking, and community.
Just a short walk from Brighton station, surrounded by hotels, restaurants, and everything the city has to offer, the Metropole makes attending MacAD.UK as enjoyable outside the sessions as it is inside them. We like to think it's the only Mac Admin conference where you can leave with technical best practice and feel like you've had a mini break at the same time.
Why Brighton?
There's a reason we keep coming back. Brighton offers something you don't find at many technology conferences. It's relaxed, creative, easy to reach, and gives everyone the chance to step away from the day job for a couple of days.
You'll enjoy:
-
A stunning seafront location just an hour from London with excellent UK and international transport links.
-
Everything under one roof, with conference spaces, exhibitors, accommodation, and networking all in one place.
-
A vibrant city packed with independent restaurants, bars, shops, and attractions, making your trip just as enjoyable after the sessions as it is during them.
Getting there
Address: Doubletree by Hilton Brighton Metropole, Kings Rd, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 2FU
Brighton has fast, direct rail links from London and across the UK.
From London, direct services run from London Victoria, London Bridge, and London St Pancras, with journey times of around one hour.
If you're flying in, Gatwick Airport is just 30 minutes away by direct train, with frequent services throughout the day.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole is around a 15 minute walk from Brighton station, or a short taxi ride if you're travelling with luggage.
Where to stay
Make the most of your MacAD.UK experience by staying right where the action is. During the first release of tickets, you'll have the option to book an overnight stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole alongside your conference ticket. It's the easiest way to enjoy both days of the event, stay on site, and take advantage of a great package price.
Rooms are limited and are expected to sell quickly, so we'd recommend booking early to avoid missing out. If you'd like to extend your stay before or after the event, additional nights can be booked directly with the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole, subject to availability.
Prefer to stay elsewhere? Brighton has accommodation to suit every budget, with plenty of excellent hotels just a short walk from the venue. Here are a few of our recommendations:
