The 17th Durham Blackboard Users' Conference will commence with an "optional" free half day of pre-conference workshops and user group sessions on Wednesday, 4th January (2-5 pm) followed by the Conference itself on Thursday, 5th and Friday, 6th January 2017!
Please note that the conference will close at approx 3.30 pm on the Friday afternoon and there will be a free bus back to the Railway Station (new provider!) direct from outside the Business School.
There will be a number of pre-conference workshops and user group meetings scheduled for the afternoon of Wednesday, 4th January 2017. This afternoon is free to Conference Delegates, however, if people wish to attend just the Wednesday afternoon and not the conference itself then there will be a small charge levied to cover costs. The afternoon starts at 2 pm and finishes at 5 pm. Tea/Coffee/Cakes are on at 3.15 until 3.45 pm. There is a short drinks reception at 5 pm for delegates attending the pre-conference afternoon.
If you requested a Parking Pass through your registration then it will have been ordered. Find a place to Park at the Durham Business School and collect your parking pass from the Main Reception Desk.
We have ordered at 59 seater coach (new provider) to come up to the Business School for 3.15 pm. We anticipate finishing at 3.30 pm and by the time everyone is on board it will leave at 3.40 to go to Durham Train Station.
This long-standing e-Learning event, in its 17th year, regularly attracts over 120 delegates – and the audience is a mix of repeat attendees and first time visitors: learning technologists, librarians, academics, administrators and even the odd manager. It is a great networking opportunity at a low price.
Our thanks go out to Durham University and to Blackboard Inc for making this conference possible.
A special thanks to eXplorance who are providing the conference attendees with your much loved conference chocolate bars!
