Things move on apace. The venue is confirmed and paid for, tickets are on sale, we’re hassling sponsors, and offers to speak are rolling in.
Things we’re still looking for at the moment are:
- sponsors – if you want your name in lights (well, alright, maybe not actual lights, but you’ll certainly get thanked profusely) we’d love to hear from you. Offers of cold, hard cash are always welcome, but so is sponsorship-in-kind – particularly if you’ve got schwag you could offer. T-shirts, mugs, irritating furry bobbly things with eyes – all would help to make the schwag bags fun. Come to think of it, if anyone wants to offer bags for the schwag we’d love to hear from you…
- speakers – there’s at least 15-20 speaking slots to fill, and there’ll be a mix of 10 and 20 minute talks. Subjects so far range from cake, to Lego, to why ladies shouldn’t gallop – so if there is a theme, it’s interesting.
- AV – Cutlers’ Hall is a big venue, so we’re going to need decent projection and PA facilities – and it would also be great if it could be filmed for posterity as well. Professional AV is a little on the spendy side, so this is a shameless plea for help with kit and expertise.
In the next couple of weeks there’ll be a snazzy new design for this site, and more details of speakers will start to appear – so check back soon…
