Information and Programme

 

Venue

The Foundations of Programming Away Day (FoPAD) 2007 takes place at the Country Cottage Hotel in Ruddington, just South of Nottingham. Click here for a map. Address:

The Country Cottage Hotel

Ruddington

Available Equipment

The following equipment is going to be available for supporting the talks:

As to computers, Roland is bringing his tablet laptop with Acrobat Reader and Power Point. In order to minimize laptop swapping, it would be good if as many people as possible could use that laptop for their presentations. Just bring your slides on a USB stick, or e-mail them to me prior to the Away Day.


Getting There

Ruddington is not very far, and getting there is easy enough by public transportation. For example, Trentbarton offers connections. For those would like to travel together to Ruddington, the bus at 8.25 AM from Broadmarsh, arriving in Ruddington (the Green) at 8.44, is recommended.
