Perhaps now is a good time to go back to basics
I think it is probably far too late to put this conference back to the planning stage. If people have basic concerns, let's address them in the next one. I'm sure the organisers will do what they can for this one, but to replan completely at this stage? Ow. There was some consultation about this conference and I think the organisers have tried to respond to what they were told. I saw them do research and try to give you what is wanted. For example, people wanted a lower ticket price than OSIEC: you got that. People wanted a venue with better rail links: you got that. Different debate panel mix: you got that. I agree that we could do with more information published about this conference, about objectives, desired outcomes and audience. I hope that Ian and co will provide it as soon as possible. Agenda drafts are in the booking details already, I think. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.
