Conference 2011

This is a blog about the Transition Network UK Conference 2011, from Hope University, Liverpool.

We'll be asking conference folks to write posts for it as the conference progresses and afterwards. We're hoping that we can convince them to give us their views and perspectives in a 'newsy' kind of way, so fingers crossed on that one. We also have a 'social reporting' squad who are primed to capture as much of the conference as possible.

Anyone wants to help, please get in touch on email or click on the big green contact button on this profile page, or come and say hello onsite.

This conference blog co-exists with Rob Hopkins' bountiful Transition Culture blog where there will be more 'culture-y' material from Rob and other suitable characters.

We feel that the conference is most productive and best experienced in person, so our main focus is onsite. But we will do what we can to share what we can on the web during and after the conference. This will be organised on the spur of the moment, with the resources we have, in the predicament we find ourselves in, so please bear with us and get stuck in via the social network channels below if you want to give it a try. Anyone onsite who can help, please come and find us - ask for Ed or Charlotte, or Mike or David  (or 'where's the tea stall' if you're thirsty).

Wifi-reliant, we will publish:

• Updates from the conference on Transition Network Conference 2011 blog, authored by the social reporting team
• 'culture-y' updates on the Transition Culture blog authored by Rob Hopkins and guests of fine repute

If it is also possible, we will publish:

• videos on the Transition Towns Youtube Channel
• photos in the Transition Towns Flickr group
• twitter updates on the Transition Towns Twitter account

And for those of you who know all this fandangled web jargon, we will 'tag' all our content as "#ttcon2011". You are warmly invited to join in with photos and tweets.

Fingers crossed! 

This blog is co-ordinated by Ed Mitchell, Transition Network Web Co-ordinator and Charlotte Du Cann, Transition Social Reporting Editor, with much appreciated support from David Wilcox, Chris Croome and Mike Grenville. And nothing will happen if no-one pitches in, so this is thanking them in advance...
