john Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Will add to Rics commments, the evening meal was most useful for me last time, very useful and helpful and was good networking and to put even more faces to names
Number6 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 As per normal for me I've only just come across this event. Is it still OK to register?
Number6 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 What's the 'form'? How many are staying Wednesday night? How Many are staying Thursday night? Both nights? Any chance of a show of hands?
Ric_ Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 As per normal for me I've only just come across this event. Is it still OK to register? Of course it is... last day for registration is 13th I believe. Just go to http://www.eventelephant.com/edugeekconferencemay2009/
Ric_ Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 What's the 'form'? How many are staying Wednesday night? How Many are staying Thursday night? Both nights? Any chance of a show of hands? From teh registration data, 22 of the 52 people are staying for either one or both of the nights.
Number6 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 From teh registration data, 22 of the 52 people are staying for either one or both of the nights. My employers will only stump up for one night's hotel :-( What's best - Wednesday or Thursday from a networking point of view? Wednesday I'd guess?
HannahBanana Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 can someone please tell me what time the conference starts and finishes please?
Ric_ Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 can someone please tell me what time the conference starts and finishes please? The wonders of ticking all the right boxes on the form http://www.eventelephant.com/edugeekconferencemay2009/eventInfo.htm
beeswax Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 My employers will only stump up for one night's hotel :-( What's best - Wednesday or Thursday from a networking point of view? Wednesday I'd guess? If you're travelling up from Worcester I would suggest Wednesday night as then you'll be able to arrive for the start of the conference. I can't really see you getting up there for a 09:30 am (?) start if you decide to travel on the day.

Yes, I'd prefer to do this, but if Thursday night is going to be better for 'networking' then I'll drive up at the crack of dawn on Thursday.
steve Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 The networking on Thursday is a cracking end to the days events
EduTech Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 @ Ric_ I Didn't receive the email mate... :? what did i do wrong lol dont tell me i cant even fill in a small form now
Ric_ Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 @ Ric_ I Didn't receive the email mate... :? what did i do wrong lol dont tell me i cant even fill in a small form now You look to be on the list so you probably just can't type! PM me your confirmation number and I can double-check.
EduTech Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 You look to be on the list so you probably just can't type! PM me your confirmation number and I can double-check. ok no problem i'll have a crawl through my emails later. ta
Number6 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 OK, I booked. Was trying to make it two of us but it's only me Looking forward to it now.
Ric_ Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 OK, I booked. Was trying to make it two of us but it's only me Looking forward to it now. Oooohhh... that makes 54! Surely another 6 people want to come! 60 would be a nice round number!
Tim_H Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Oooohhh... that makes 54! Surely another 6 people want to come! 60 would be a nice round number! Just signed up 3 of us...
Ric_ Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Thanks Tim_H! BTW - Can I just remind people that if they are not going to be able to make it, can they please contact me ASAP. The numbers are good but we don't want people not turning up - it will cost us £30 whether you turn up or not!
Ric_ Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 Well we have made the 60! Yay!!! I sent another email out earlier.... once again it looks rubbish - either I can't work a computer or the Event Elephant site is bobbins. The conference should be good! BTW - We have a few prizes donated by sponsors that will be given away at the end of the day. These are rather good and worth a fair bit of money so cross your fingers now in anticipation!
Ric_ Posted May 15, 2009 Author Posted May 15, 2009 Well registration has expired and we have 60 people coming! This promises to be a very good conference! A reminder email will go out later so that you all have the details (hopefully this will look better than the last two emails!). I know I keep going on about it but if you could let us know ASAP if you cannot attend we can cancel your seat and get charged £30 less - I hate wasting money! Now I just have to write my presentation
Sylv3r Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 It may just have been that I missed it, but has a agenda of all the sessions been posted anywhere yet? Thanks
Ric_ Posted May 15, 2009 Author Posted May 15, 2009 @Sylv3r: It is on the Event Elephant site, hints have been posted and there's more to come. Please post any questions and I will try to answer them. 1
cookie_monster Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 What's the plan for meeting up tomorrow night should we all aim to turn up in the bar next door to the hotel, or is there already a plan?
