BETT 2018 - Who's going?

[atcoates]

I wonder if anyone has given out a toy bee at BETT, just to make a joke about it being a free bee...

You see people walking out with bags and bags of stuff. I just look and see a lot of phone calls and emails coming my way so try and pick up nothing.

I go round with a show pro, bags and bags of goods and never a phone call although even she found last year tough for blagging goods....

You mean to say you believe everyone is a member of Hogwarts School of Wizardry, with a PAYG Telephone number and an interesting e-mail address?

At least I will be ready when I try to fit your posting name on a raffle ticket this time ... some people just don't think about future analogue difficulties

Are you suggesting that you create fake credentials!!!Must be a GDPR fail there somewhere ;-)

Oh that's easy... write a different username with 7 chars or less and containing at least 2 numbers in it.

 

That or write 'Mew-blahblah'.

Maybe... but not until it's in effect.

Mewdew would work or just Mew, basically my name in the Edugeek Discord

Only if we can find you quickly when we make the draw....

 

I might go for "mewdew etc" as a reminder that it's shortened if I'm not there when the draw is done

Do teachery type people think of doing that???

 

or can they??

The infinite monkey theorem, suggests that anyone could come to that conclusion.

 

Aren't you a teacher?

only till Friday

 

then I am a retired teacher (and semi retired IT tech until i get bored)

 

although I was never very good at being 'like a teacher' - I confuse kids by not acting like teachers are supposed to act

[northeast_technician]

Supervise them closely. Do not let them talk to any salesman without you being present!

 

ha ha solid advice thank you. They wouldn't dare sign up to anything with out me anyways

Teachers do seem to like a freebie at BETT!!!

 

doesn't everyone? why else are people going other than freebies!

Aerohive were giving out bee stress "balls" last year, although that is in keeping with their brand rather than making the free bee joke.

I really want to go but the cost is putting me off. Boss will let me have thursday off and I dont work Friday but that would mean a hotel for two nights and I just cant justify it really.

Hmmm

Quick! To the EduCopter...

 

Seriously though, £££ is what's making me umm and err as well.

[bald_pig]

Would an airbnb be an option? might be able to save some money by pooling?

Yes - same with me - I would have to get a return train from here to London - then across London - then stay in a hotel overnight

 

and as I won't be working at the time there wouldn't be anything that I needed to look for/check out

 

so - lots of money - but good chance to meet people and stuff

 

dunno

Will Edugeek be getting the Pizza's in again? It was much welcomed last time round

The primary function of pizza is to feed the stand staff. We order extra so we can encourage others to join us, meet each other and talk. There will be lunch on the stand

I am going to see how many days I can come this year, as I never get as much done as I want to.
