London ICT Technicians Update Conference 2007 - 17th March 2008 Following the success of the London ICT Technicians Conference held in March of this year, the London ICT Technicians Update Conference 2008 will be held at the BT Centre,
81 Newgate Street,
EC1A 7AJ on Monday 17th March 2008. The last conference was highly oversubscribed, so in order to offer this opportunity to as many technical colleagues as possible we will be running this conference twice, using the morning and afternoon slots. A light buffet lunch will be available. As with previous conferences, we will be focussing on short information and update sessions rather than the more traditional, longer presentations. Some of the items that will be covered are listed below. A full agenda of the day will be available prior to the event.
This event always has a programme packed with valuable information for school technicians and relevant LA support staff and has been very well received by those who have attended in the past. Details and sign up information can be found at www.events.lgfl.net
We had a great meeting today at the EDC.
Special thanks to our speakers, Richard Allen from Becta and Mick Thomas from Biggin Hill Junior School.
