EduGeek EDIT 2025 - Venue Ideas

[Dos_Box]

I'm just starting to look at venues for our EDIT 2025 Conference and need your help.

Currently we are looking at locations in the Midlands and North. If you have ever been to an EDIT Conference before, you know that we do like to host them in interesting places and if you an idea as to what would make a great location for this, then please let me know and I'll add it to the list.

 

The conf is intended to go back to it's orginal slot, the end of May school holidays for the first time since lockdown.

Please note that vnues should ideally have good road and rail links to allow members to get to the event as easily as possible.

 

Currently I have the National Motorcycle Museum (Birmingham NEC) and the National Video Game Museum (Sheffield) and the National Railyway Museum at York on my shortlist.

If you know of any venues near you that would fit the bill, then please feel free to suggest them here

All with good transport links from London.

Is that the Tank Museum opposite Monkey World @Oaktech? As I can be easily distracted.

You say that but Myself and @Joanne got very distracted by a world famous spire at the Salisbury one and didn't make it back

(ahem) I'm sure that was already on the list, but hopefully we can have a conversation about it...

I'd definitely be up for the video game place in Sheffield. Went there for a book signing for Steve from go 8-bit.

We did enquire to Beltchley last year, but it was very expensive IIRC, will have to take a look at my emails to\from them.

Now if that means we become a terrible twosome in the conference, it is a must that you attend!

The Tank Museum would be epic, but it is out on a limb for some.

I've been to Bovington many, many times in a past life and would make for an epic venue. I'll reach out to them.
