GA Conference Hashtag #gaconf10

In just over 3 weeks time, I will be making my way to the University of Derby for the first day of the Geographical Association Conference.
This will be my 7th conference in a row, which I know is a lot less than many of the delegates who will be there.

Spent a while today sorting my schedule for the 3 days of events, and like many people there it is going to be a fairly hectic time.

The theme for 2010 is 'Geography: The Big Picture' and will focus on:

• How changes in the primary curriculum following the Rose and Alexander Reviews will affect the broad picture of geographical education
• How geography is perceived through images by the wider public
• Creative use of images and maps
• How geographical research can contribute to key global issues and debates

For those who are tweeting and blogging about the conference, and want a tag which will help them identify and search for content before, during and after the event, the hashtag for the conference will be #gaconf10 - please use this tag when discussing the event, and if you are tweeting from the event...

Some of the events I am going to be involved in are listed down the right hand column of the blog, in the section "Where will Mister P be...."

UPDATE - Due to the recent closure of Masala Art Restaurant, Friday night's Indian Buffet will now take place at the Stuart Hotel on London Road. If you have any queries, please contact Lucy Oxley (0114 296 0088).

Don't forget that resources from the sessions will appear on the GA website shortly after the conference is over.
