Quiet Area

This year we propose to have a quiet area for those not so keen to participate in use of mobile devices and networked technologies.

This area will also be appropriate for those who would like to avoid being filmed during the video streaming. Note that audience footage is likely to primarily consist of long shots except for when questions are being asked by delegates during the Q&A sessions.

The quiet area will be the balcony of the Ivor Crewe lecture theatre, reachable by the back entrance on level 2.

Network Usage

Delegates should have given information on the type of network connection they will require during the workshop when they filled in the booking form. Delegates who are part of the Eduroam system will be able to use their normal login and password. Those that are not part of Eduroam can request a user name and password for the duration of the conference at registration.
