BETT it is!

[elsiegee40]

Mine says CEO of Microsoft..... it dosen't.

 

But I wish I'd of put something else in a more senior position now rather than Network Manager maybe 'Head Puppy Distributor' or 'Tea Girl' Ah well you live and learn.

 

Like I said @billybob... a senior title is a mixed blessing. Something incomprehensible or junior is better for keeping the number of sales phone calls to a minimum afterwards. You can always use another email address to get a second badge. And you can change the details on your registration. Badges aren't printed yet.

Whilst there is already a lovely thread with loads of BETT goers open, does anyone know of cheap/decent places to stay in London? (Not a Hostel though)

 

Thanks

 

Also if there is some edugeekers party on the Thursday night or Friday night let me know as I will be in London for both those nights :)

A lot of the Edugeekers who're manning the stand will be at the tower gateway travelodge I believe. Great location, and cheaper than most.

We normally gather most evenings for drinks/food so you'll be unlucky not to get a chance for a few drinks. Last year The Minories was the pub of choice, in no small part due to the excellent burgers, real ales and many screens showing sport.

My boss registered me this year, and he must have been unwell or something, either that or was trying to get me to do something... Got my stickers ready to prevent unwanted scans too! Just waiting for the pack to arrive and the phone call from a former NM who now works in the front office to challenge us on it!

There's a German themed restaurant nearby under one of the railway bridges that looks of interest. Also a good pub opposite showing football and a paddle full of meat.

You spelt Maet wrong

 

There's also a brilliant Thai place around there that we went to last year. Far too many options

[Dos_Box]

Me too, though you perhaps had enough last time

 

 

Until she's had a few Mojitos

 

 

Basically my route too, except i get on the train to Euston at Preston

 

 

 

You're miles away from us this time! I'll have worked off enough calories for an extra pizza by the time i get over to you.

 

Just seen where your stand is. At least you won't have a 10 mile hike each morning once you get in the door!

True, but it's going to be a looong walk to the little door at the back for a smoke!

Can't wait to come across the pond again, and visit all the stands, including edugeek, of course.

Wow didn't realise people travel that far to go to BETT!!

[featured_spectre]

I have been like 4 times but never visited the Edugeek stand...shameful I know, I will this year though!! Also going to visit the NS-Optimum stand

 

Sign up with the prime ministers address and details...Mr D Cameron, 10 Downing Street...lol....that would be nice!

World's largest ICT show will attract all kinds of riff-raff, even from the colonies.

Plus I think I'll drop off those coffee flavoured chocolates again if I remember, they seemed to go over brilliantly.

Those were so nice.

 

Thanks for last time, and thanks in advance for this time.

Having been attending BETT on various stands for the last 5 years I might just make the trip to come and see you all. That's as long as you don't mind someone with an Apple badge on your stand....

We'll let you off....maybe

[foofighterjim]

So it looks like I will be there on the Wednesday or Thursday (possibly both). Looking forward to Edugeek pizza, saved my life last year after misplacing my wallet!

Well as the Apple stand will be the biggest one this year might be hard not to miss......

[ICTDirect_Dave]

Is this stand F140? That's only a mere 210 Sqm. Intel's currently the biggest at 272 Sqm

"Here come the Apple giants" Oh god, I wonder how many more of the schools non-technical staff they can fool to buy into more of their stuff at BETT. Must be an amazing big sales opportunity

 

Please take that with a pinch of salt, just a bit of playful banter. Apple isn't ALL that bad.

New Head came and asked me to go before I could beg/plead/offer my soul to. I played it off cool though like I hadn't been preparing my speech on why I should be allowed since the end of BETT last year.

 

This year will be the year I actually pluck up the courage to have a conversation with you scary bunch instead of just hot footing it away from the stand with my lanyard

[AJWhite1970]

Broke my EduGeek duck last year when I stopped by for a chat and a lanyard This year I may be even braver and pop round when the pizza's been delivered.

 

At BETT Thursday, Friday and Saturday this year and not going home until Sunday night. Hotel booked and paid for by the school for 3 nights, all I pay is travel (thanks to £1 Megatrain tickets...)

Three days! In that case, I definitely expect to chat you you over a slice of pizza

I'm guessing there was a massive bill.
