There are 3 or 4 education events it might be worth considering in the UK FLOSSIE in July which I organise and OOo has an informal presence anyway because of that The Education Show in March but given the time I think we would have to look at 2007 Specialist Schools conference in November - as a company we go there annually because I know a lot of the headteachers that go there too. I have given out OOo discs but never any reall formal focused OOo presence. BETT - January - Just gone. We were there on OpenForum Europe's stand with INGOTs and it does seem to have been useful in generating interest and leads. Apart from FLOSSIE, all the others are likely to cost around £1500 for a booth unless as we did with BETT its possible to get on someone else's stand. FLOSSIE is simple, if we have people willing to take a booth there I can give it free space. I will be at the others most probably with INGOTs so I will be busy all the time but I can provide advice if it helps. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMS Ltd
