The EDIT 2024 Thread

[Dos_Box]

With just a week to go I thought it time we had a thread to keep you informed about the activities taking place on the day, and getting together on the Tuesday\Wednesday night.

We are still sorting out Wednesday evening (post-conf social) and we have a sponsor hopefully lined up for that in the next day or so, but the Tuesday evening will be a much more casual affair and we all tend to arrange a bar to meet in (there is a 'spoons just down from the Premier Inn most of us are staying in).

I can also let you know that there will be a competition where some of you can win a sit in a genuine Spitfire cursesy of one of our exhibitors\speakers. Again, watch this space!

 

Given the variety of speakers we have, it really does promise to give everyone attending a huge raft of useful information from some of the EdTech industries leading suppliers.

if you want a ticket, then we only have a couple left (really, just two!), and you can get them here.

The conf mugs have arrived (all attendees will receive one)

I'll be mentioning some of the competitions the exhibitors will be running on the day tomorrow too

[Dos_Box]

And I've just received this from Nellcote, who will be speaking and exhibiting on the day. Their talk 'Penetration Testing 101' should be very informative, as I know many of you have been asking about the in's and out's of penetration testing recently.

 

Nellcote Cyber are offering five lucky delegates the unique opportunity to sit in a Super Marine Spitfire. If you are interested in this incredible experience, please make sure to visit our stand and provide us with your details.

We will be conducting a draw before the end of the day to select the fortunate winners, who will get access to the aircraft at around 4 o'clock.
