3. Cloakroom: There is a secure, staffed cloakroom for your things so you can move around freely.

4. Presentations/visuals: All session spaces have plasma screens. Please bring your laptops, even if you haven't got anything prepared - you might feel inspired to contribute on the day! If you have a spare one, even a little netbook, please bring it, every little helps and they can be plugged into provide an extra ustream corner, twitterfall, etc, because -

5. We'll all have wifi!

6. Spaces: There are rooms on two levels which we are able to use. From what we can tell, there are two main areas of interest - one being data-related, one being social media. Hence we have set up the rooms on the ground floor as main social media theatre, and the spaces on the -2 floor for the more technical subjects. Rooms listed up here: http://www.kingsplace.co.uk/conference-events/rooms-capacities - we have Battlebridge, St Pancras, divided into two, and Limehouse, Wenlock and Horsfall rooms. It's a big space, and everything is easily found.

7. The Agenda: will be on the wall, open for session ideas. Thank you to all those who mentioned ideas for sessions on the huddle workspace. We also have

8. A 60-seat conference room in which we have an agenda for the morning sessions:

1. hyperlocal - Panel (nominate yourself!) (Hugh Flouch/Justin Griggs/??)
2. Engaging externally v sorting out internal comms - Dave Briggs

Get on the Huddle space to suggest sessions, and remember you can suggest sessions on the day. We will have a lot of smaller spaces we can fill - I will definitely run a libraries on twitter surgery somewhere in a corner. Think about what you can contribute.

9. Homebase: The main part of Battlebridge room will be the room we will meet and mix during the breaks, have coffee and lunch.
