You don’t have to attend the conference to come to the after party. So make sure to keep on eye on this blog to find out where it’s going to be held.
Thanks again to Trusted Places for their sponsorship. My thanks also go to BT and Policy Unplugged for their support. Trusted Places will have a stand at the conference so why not stop by and say hi. You can always join their Facebook Group too.
For those of you not attending, it’ll be possible to view or take part in the debate using our Webcast. I’ll post details shortly as it deserves a post of its own.
Register now as places are numbered.
Hope to see you there. Please poke me and say hi when you see me hanging around afterwards.
After keeping my network closed, I’ve recently decided to open my Facebook network so feel free to connect with me; long story and I’ll explain later in the week.

Artemis - so much to write about. I’ve been holding off until we receive the video from BT as that’ll be far more interesting. We should have something in the next week or so. Either way, I’ll provide an update. Sorry for taking so long!
