After we have announced all 10 sessions in a series of blog posts over the last two weeks, we have now published the complete conference programme. After registration and breakfast we will start the conference at 9.30 AM. We will finish around 6 PM, and then move the discussion to the pub. We thought that it would be great to have as many sessions as possible as plenary sessions, so that participants have a similar conference experience. And we decided against the popular unconference format, as we wanted to have speakers and session topics different from last year’s Science Blogging 2008: London and ScienceOnline’09 earlier this year in North Carolina. We almost succeeded in that goal. You will also notice that the session topics reflect the name change to Science Online London, sessions are not only about blogging, but about many other topics related to doing and communicating science online. We encouraged our session speakers to give an introduction to the topic, but then leave enough room for open discussion.
We hope you look forward to the conference as much as we do. And we hope to see many of you in three weeks time at the Royal Institution (or in Second Life, if you can’t come to the conference in person).
Seems “Far out: Speculations on science communication 50 years from now” will include discussion about time travel since it’s listed on the schedule after the coffee break, but happens before it!
