Attendance Requirements - Please Read

If you wish to attend the Kendra meeting you must make sure you are listed as doing so here. To make this meeting (and lunch) a success it is essential that we get accurate numbers of people wishing to attend. The logistics of setting up workshops (and lunch) require significant preparation so help us out and list yourself as soon as you can. If you have issues with listing yourself on the website then email me and let me know.

As meeting attendees you will be required to take part in the workshops. As they say, "there's no such thing as a free lunch" and Kendra is no exception. You will be required to discuss (in groups) the problems and frustrations that you see with content distribution as it stands today and in the future. This is intentionally wide in scope. So, let it rip and don't hold back. You can be as specific or personal or general as you wish. You will also need to discuss what kind of solutions need to be put in place to solve the problems. Come along with your dream ideas and don't be held back by what you think is possible using current technology or business practices.
