But Let’s Be Realistic
Constraints• Available effort • Commitment• Logistics • Finances • …
Additional Factors • Limited accommodation• Distance • Expected numbers• Date (in summer holidays)
We’re had ~190 participants in recent years.Will the distance and date put people off? Will we have to plan for smaller numbers?Or can be make event so attractive and target new audiences, that the event could be larger than before?

My ThoughtsA Green Event
• Being green, whilst still being effective‘Unconference’ Sessions?
• Users set the agenda (but isn’t this just the discussion groups?)
Better Links With R&D• Embedding JISC-funded projects• Preservation of Web sites
The Accessibility Trial• University of MacPoppleton taken to court for an
inaccessible VLE. You, the jury, decide.The Amplified Conference
• Build on previous workWorking With FE
• HE/FE differences existed previously, but we’ve all now got similar interests in Web 2.0
