Probably the best conference venue in the world


  Probably the best conference in the world 
  Originally uploaded by Edublogger

What a treat for a blogging conference-goer: free, very fast wifi, electricity on tap, a wide-screen projection for wrap-around presentations and no podiums to get in the way of those tasteful headshots we'll be capturing and posting to the LIFT08 Flickr feed. They've even got headphones for the translation of one of the French presentations and Laurent's gang have laid on trams for us to get to our Fondue tonight. The best conference in the world? Probably.

I concur :)

yup, it's pretty swish. You'll look good up there, mate!

-pc.

Very fast Wifi really? most of time I couldn't connect to the Internet... and the "no-connection" messages displayed on the Macbook screens of my neighbour were frequent despite their nervous hits on the reload button.

It certainly did slow down and then stop towards the end of each session, but when everyone left the room and we got started again it was fairly good.
