Stuff we learned from running conferences (e.g. 2013 AGM).

  • Get speakers to provide their presentations up front
  • Test connectivity for all types of laptop/projector
  • Make sure that plug sockets are available for attendees
  • Lincoln is a pain to get to if you don't have a car - perhaps next time have it outside London, but in a major, easily accessible city rather than a small, picturesque city?
  • Break-out rooms were a little out of the way from the plenary room, so getting people to go to the break-out sessions was difficult.
  • Note that registration form dictates name badge.
    • It would be nice if the form had options for what was to appear on the badge. e.g. Real name, user name, both, other. Maybe have similar set of options for paper and online delegate lists.
