Prepare Day New Designers

Went with J (and A&E) to Business Design Centre for the Prepare Day for New Designers 2010. I'm not going to be there this year, but am being assessed on Professional Practice so thought it better timing to attend now. Many speedy, detailed talks on a huge range of subjects.

• Stand presentation - Louise Pacifico ND Sales Manager
• Registration - Phil Vann from Interchange Communications
• How to get the best out of your participation in ND -  Ray Marrs from Bucks New University. (Favourite tip..do not be scary or weird.) His PowerPoint is on YouTube, in two parts. These links should work...

• Copyright -  Alex Papakyriacou from Briffa

Graduates get to share this space...

next door to what will be the press office ....

The display boards are wooden and sturdy, with lights (to be ordered) and plug point. Very difficult to photograph yet hundreds of people did. Here's mine...

This is the view looking over the balcony. Think it will be blocked off by all the display stands...

This one wants to be upside down and I can't work out why. Attached three times and this is just the way it wants to be. Stand on your head...
