Tomorrow sees the second Learning Gateway Conference that both Richard Willis and I are very proud to bring to you.

We have a very exciting day of speakers and sessions lined up and we hope you enjoy the day.

The twitter hash tag for the day is #LGCUK10 so if you are unable to attend, listen out to what is being said through twitter.

I look forward to seeing you there.

We are happy to announce that the Learning Gateway Conference is back and we are now taking bookings.

This year we are travelling south and holding the conference in London on the 14th July at Church House around the corner from Westminster Abbey.
The conference will have 3 tracks discussing ‘How to build the Learning Gateway’, ‘User Adoption’ and the new track, ‘School Stories’.
We are delighted to have 5 schools presenting discussing what they have done with the Learning Gateway within their school and how they achieved great adoption in their school.
Here are the tracks and session available.

To cover the cost of the venue and food we are charging £150 for the day which is less than the cost of a cover member of staff for the day and will not blow your budget either.

You can get more information on the session and abstracts for these at the website. http://www.learninggatewayconference.co.uk

We look forward to seeing you there.

Richard and I would just like to thank everyone who turned up to the first Learning Gateway Conference during the week.

The event was a massive success and I hope you found the day as useful as we hoped it would for you.  I want to thank all the speakers and all my friends who helped on the day.

We will keep you updated about the next one.  We have ideas but nothing is confirmed yet.

Watch this space.

Thanks again
