BETT 2012 - 30,372 visitors!
I have just been sent a PR statement about the numbers from this years BETT. BETT had 30,372* visitors over the 4 days which made it the highest attended BETT so far. This was an increase of 3.84% from last year. Next years BETT is at the ExCel exhibition centre which I am told provides extra space and also is now at the end of January (30th - 2nd Feb) which hopefully will mean more can attend rather than having it in the first week of term for many. They also say current bookings for next yea

EduGeek @ISTE 2011 - Philadelphia
Well, we’re done... With our second ISTE show under our belt we are now sat in international departures at Philly airport and we finally have time to get down in words how awesome this week has been. Awesome weather, awesome people, awesome (bordering on dangerous) food and an unbelievably awesomely large workload (I think I’ll stop there. I’m beginning to sound like Steve Jobs). It would be fair to say that I don’t think Shaun and I have worked as hard as we have this week at any exhibit

Well, we’ve finished, and with sore feet had a last meal with the guys from SmoothWall (fish and chips/sausage and mash being the order of the day) before we parted ways as they are flying down to Charlotte today to their US offices at early o’clock this morning. The show finished at 2:30pm and we were still sat on our stand at close to 7pm waiting on one last box to finish packing away. It turned out it had been damaged, repaired than not returned to the crate store. Was the ISTE Exhibition
