jdoldridge Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 What do we do about visitors. I want to bring a 2 people with me that aren't in the IT industry, one of them is driving us down the 188 miles from East Yorkshire so I will be stuck if I can't bring people in. Also, can somebody save me freebies. I have a that going on a Saturday means there won't be many left. Its my first time at BETT and I aren't going with work so has anybody got any tips? My plan is arrive Saturday morning around 10am and spend the day at the show then explore the nightlife in London and drive back up Sunday. Any tips anybody??

There has always been freebies on the Saturdays when I have been before (I am going again on Saturday this year). Edited January 28, 2013 by Devontechie 1

elsiegee40 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 On Saturday companies are trying to get of freebies they don't want to take home. There should be plenty
jdoldridge Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Ooh Good I hope that includes EduGeek also. I would love a lanyard or a mug. although both would be nice. The team said I should bring them freebies back if possible

There should be plenty Yeah I have never had problems with freebies on a Saturday! Alots get loads of bits coz like @elsiegee40 said, they are trying to get rid of things so they don't have to take it back with them!
jdoldridge Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I am really looking forward more and more now we had ergo computing in today at work demoing their Windows 8 tablets (Great product by the way, seems very robust) and they kind of made me decide to go I will wear some kind of ID badge with my edugeek name on it as I have seen that other people may be doing this. That way if you see me, feel free to say hello

hil Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 It's a shame that I can't go this year, won't be able to get my years worth of pens and my new work mug. :-(

I came down on the Saturday last time, there were no freebies. [OK, there WERE freebies, but nothing really cool apart from my EduGeek lanyard.]

[OK, there WERE freebies, but nothing really cool apart from my EduGeek lanyard.] My "apprentice" came away with a carrier bag full of goodies that he was well impressed with. He must have beaten you to the cool ones

north-ict Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Just intercept them before they get them and say 'These are not the freebies you are looking for'
X-13 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Just intercept them before they get them and say 'These are not the freebies you are looking for' You know, I want there to be an Android for education reseller at BETT just so I can make that joke.
