that period of time when you run around like a headless chicken and achieve the impossible!

 

Yes, it's called running the conference.

Another year celebrating my birthday at an edugeek conference - what more can I ask for )

 

I don't ever remember you mentioning this before.....

 

Could be worse though, Dos_Box and ZeroHour felt the need to go to the other side of the world to avoid me on my birthday last year and will be doing the same this year

[teejay]

Yep, got your email

 

Edit: Ignore that, should've been in another thread:doh:

Nice venue! any pre educonf meal this year? I'm game for a BBQ that decking area looks good for one.

 

Idea of Dos_Box putting BBQ together reminded me of:

I got your email this morning chris.

Pity - I can't make that - I have a suggestion for a speaker though.. I recently attended an ISC Conference where Ian Yorston spoke.. (He is the Head of Digital Strategy at Radley College)

 

He is an excellent and entertaining speaker who made some very good arguments about why schools should scrap teachers and computer networks - give students iPads and tell them to do find some interesting things to do..

[GrumbleDook]

I'd agree about Ian.

 

I would also recommend Kristian Still from Hamble College to talk about Digital Leaders. Not exactly techie ... but well worth it.

[AWicher]

Hmmmm, i wonder if Thomas Computer Supplies Ltd have my prize yet for winning there comp last year?

Thanks - I thought I was going insane for a while there

[tazz]

Is that 5 mins from the hotel in heels or flats??!!

[DMartin]

I would love to attend, Only been working school IT for about 5 months but i think it will be a real eye opener!

[ticker]

Are you volunteering for Cooking Duties then

 

yep beer in one hand and tongs in the other

[FN-GM]

Can i ask why Thursday was picked please? it would be easier for me, possibly others for a friday. Thursday isnt brill because it wont be convenient taking a day of work either side of a working day.

 

Cheers

[DrummerBoy]

Hi there all. I am delivering the first slot of the day, on Data Protection, so if anyone has anything they would like me to consider including (only a half hour slot remember!!) please PM me.

Out of curiosity, Did this get full up, or there still spaces? (Worth a shot) Also is there a hotel planned up, or just book your own spot kinda thing?

 

(and was it set to June 2nd? or may?)

 

Thanks Steve

Dont think spaces have been opened up yet.

Ah ok, Was just wondering as I'd have to book time off, and hotels etc (If lucky enough)

 

Thanks,

Steve

[steve]

Any ideas when booking will open?

[CAM]

Getting a bit close now aren't we?

 

Same hotel as last year btw down the road from (RIP ) Le Frog?

[LeeH]

Definitely want to attend, was an excellent day last year. LeFrog is no more, but it has re-opened as something almost as good, and the meals at the Black Bull next door are decent and if you get the right time, two for one as well!

 

I like food.

[Dos_Box]

We should have the registration page up very, very soon. Please bare with us!

[Gatt]

I'm provisionally coming - depends on how I feel post-op from my hernia repair and transport arrangements...
