You will be able to install tools that you wish as long as they are either free or you are licensed to use them. If you wish to bring along your own laptop then that will be fine, we'll have a wifi network accessible for the duration of the event.

We should be able to set up a local versioning server for use by the teams.

We've got multiple rooms for brainstorming/team meeting use and a separate area for people to sleep in, if they so wish!

There's a cafe on site open during normal hours and a lot of food places within a few mins walk, we're not far out of the centre of Birmingham!
