PTI Geography Symposium - taking shape, with some exciting speakers

I've posted about this event a couple of times now. 

It's shaping up to be an excellent couple of days down at the RGS in London (or up depending on where you are based), organised by the PTI with the RGS and GA.


The programme for the event is beginning to be shared on the website. The event includes overnight accommodation and breakfast and a gala dinner with guest speakers.

Yesterday morning, I checked the updated programme and was very excited to see these two sessions side by side on the draft programme for the event. Obviously there's my session on Everyday Geographies. I've got plenty of ideas to share there, drawing on my Presidential lecture (you'll find lots of related posts on the blog).

But it seems I'm also the 'support act' for J. Willgoose Esq.

If you're not familiar with him, he is the guitarist and songwriter for the most excellent Public Service Broadcasting. 

You will also know if you read the blog regularly that I have posted frequently about them, and also on my World of Music blog.

Their albums tend to focus on one theme: the Race for Space, the decline of Welsh coal or the last flight of Amelia Earhart, as well as an album celebrating Berlin.

I'm very much looking forward to this session, and acting as 'support act'.
