suggested themes thus far:

• Social Media Ethics

Schedule

You can view the schedule by following this link which will open a new window MCLIV Schedule. - if you want to run a session please tell us during sign-up so we can fit you into it.

Venue

We have space to accommodate 35 people!

• 2 classrooms, Library, massive projectors and LCDs.
• City centre
• Chillaxation, sofas
• Free wi-fi

Why are we charging?

Having run around 8 of these types of events previously we have learnt that some people can become disappointed with "no-shows", that is people stating they are coming to talk about something and then not showing up, this does disrupt the day somewhat. We decided then to introduce a very small fee to show a sign of commitment, we figure people are more likely to arrive having paid a small registration fee.

And let's face it, 25 quid to be surrounded by cool people, free wi-fi and a plush venue all day is a steal.

Twitter

We do not have an official twitter page, instead we'd rather you did the talking, so just tweet away and use the event tag #MCLIV

TAG: #MCLIV - please tag all media concerning this event with MCLIV

Previous MediaCamps events have attracted between 100 and 150 people.
