Science Online London – August 2009..for a tenner?
Last year’s Blogging event was pretty amazing – by all standards. I heartily recommend signing up to this year’s event. We’ll be there.
Building on the success of last year’s Science Blogging 2009: London conference, we’d like to announce that Science Online London 2009 will take place on Saturday August 22, 2009 at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in London. We hope that you can attend.
We decided to change the name of the conference this year to reflect the wide range of science-related activities occurring online today. This year’s programme will include sessions on blogging and microblogging, online communities, open access, new teaching and research tools, author identifiers, etc.
Registration will soon open on the conference website: http://www.scienceonlinelondon.org. You can now sign up to receive email alerts on the site.
There will probably be a registration fee to cover the costs. Exact amount tbc, but likely to be in the range of £10.
Suggest sessions/topics
We need your ideas for sessions and speakers: panel discussions, keynote speakers, demos, etc. Volunteer yourself as a speaker or suggest others you’d like to hear from. Please post your ideas to the conference’s Nature Network forum, Friendfeed group, or email them to topics@scienceonlinelondon.org.
Sponsors
We need sponsors! If you or your organization would like to be a sponsor, please email sponsor@scienceonlinelondon.org. You can also suggest organisations you think we should approach.
Hosts
The event is co-hosted by Nature Network (Nature Publishing Group), Mendeley and the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
Start the networking and spread the word!
You’ll find groups for the conference on Nature Network, Twitter (tag: #soloconf_09) and Friendfeed.
Please also blog/Twitter/etc about the event (if you haven’t already!) to help us spread the word. Attached is our logo for you to repost on your blogs. And forward this message to your friends and colleagues!
