Additional Activities**
- We've been thinking about organising a 'tech amnesty' on the day - encourage people to donate old books, guides, unused tech, gadgets and schwag and enables others to help themselves or donate to a recycler or charity.
What To Bring
- Laptops

- Cameras - still or video

What We'll Provide

- Food & Drink (and maybe some schwag...)
- Projectors, screens, whiteboards, PA systems and such for presenters
- A video diary room!
"NOTE: if anyone presenting needs anything specific from the network please can you let us know by contacting any of the organisers ASAP so we can ensure the right ports are opened. The default setup is a little limited but with notice we'll be abe to accommodate your needs."
Accessibility
- Old Broadcasting House is newly refitted and entirely wheelchair accessible.
- We'll aim to get some talks simultaneously translated into British Sign Language (fingers crossed!).
