Hi Simon,<br><br>Can we please block out 5.30 - 8.00 pm for Ignite, to give us an hour of networking time before the presentations start? <br><br>The networking is an important component of Ignite, and ideally we'll do it in the same room as the presentations, so we can just start the presentations without needing people to file into the room.<br>
<br>I'll need access to the room from 4.30pm to set it up - I like to
have everything ready to go as soon as people start arriving at 530pm.<br><br>Ballroom A looks perfect based on the 360 degree tour as it already has a stage set up, and the room can be resized depending on how many people we get - this will allow us to be a bit flexible. It's good for the room to feel a bit full without being cramped, and not so large that it feels empty.<br>
<br>Will Ballroom A be available from 4.30pm?<br><br>Whichever room we use, I'd like to have a mixture of seating and standing, with a few rows of seats theatre-style but the majority of people standing. I'll need a projector and PA system, power for the laptops, etc, but other than that there are no special requirements.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Steve<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/24 mapbutcher <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mapbutcher@mapbutcher.com">mapbutcher@mapbutcher.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div>Stephen,</div><div><br></div><div>As discussed last week I've slated in Ignite into the program - find below the link to the program online:</div><div><br></div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre;"><a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pm1bvJQodiW3WBYGU7MM0Og" target="_blank">http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pm1bvJQodiW3WBYGU7MM0Og</a></span><br clear="all">
<br><div>I'm unsure of what part of the SCEC would prove best for Ignite? You'll see from the program what rooms we have allocated + we have the parkside foyer which is allocated to the exhibition. More info on the rooms can be found here:</div>

<div><br></div><div>The program has also been update to take account of the 8pm conference centre closing time</div><div><br>Simon<br>
