RE: [Fsfe-uk] Upcoming Exhibitions

[Chris Puttick]

I've been and it's horrid - to get any attention you need a central stand,
professionally turned out and plenty of slick sales people. Preferably then
everything needs an enormous pricetag on it so the heads et al are
impressed. You'd do better at NAACE  - which is tomorrow :-( 

BETT is just too much about money to get a look in unless someone with some
cash (~£25k) is prepared to back the effort. IBM for tea anyone?

How about BETT?
- the education software/IT expo in January.
It's not cheap, but well worth working towards.

Has anyone on this list been before?
I'd like to hear opinions on this.
