It is easily accessible from Leeds Bradford and Manchester International Airports, and is on the main railway line between Leeds and York.
Harrogate was recently named as the happiest place to live in Britain for the third year in a row by property website Rightmove.

Great value training for technical communicators
The UA Europe conference represents a highly cost-effective way to spend your training budget. Costing less than a typical two-day training course, it provides countless practical tips, techniques, ideas, and strategies that you can apply on return to work. What's more, the conference offers the following benefits:
• An opportunity to learn directly from many of the world's leading teachers and experts in user assistance, and to put questions to them
• A unique chance to meet and share experiences with your peers in the user assistance community from throughout Europe
• You'll be exposed to a range of different user assistance products and services that you can evaluate and compare with your own current tools and practices.
Optional pre-conference training workshops on 7th June
The conference is preceded by two in-depth workshops delivered by world-leading experts:
• MadCap Flare: Taking control of your HTML5 output with styles, skins, and master pages (Scott DeLoach and Matthew Ellison)
• DITA Skills Update (Dr Tony Self)
These workshops are available to all, including those who are not attending the main conference, but conference delegates benefit by paying a reduced workshop fee. For more information on the in-depth workshops, including registration fees, visit www.uaconference.eu/workshops.html.
We look forward to seeing you at UA Europe 2017 in the beautiful town of Harrogate!
