Folks,

We've been told that there's free WiFi throughout the venue this year, so if you're actually coming to the f2f conference please bring a laptop with you (if you have one) and share some of the talks you go to via Twitter, live blogging (get a free account at www.coveritlive.com) or any other means.  Also, don't forget to use the #iatefl hashtag for any tweets you post and tag any other resources (Flickr photos, blog entries, etc.) with the tag iatefl2009. In that way this site will pick up on anything posted out there on the Interweb pipes.

Thanks,

Gavin

I won't be in Cardiff. I will be in Valencia, attending a EUROCALL Executive Committee meeting, part of which will involve planning for the EUROCALL 2009 conference - at which Gavin Dudeney will be speaking. Like IATEFL, EUROCALL 2009 will have an online strand again this year:

I will also be giving guest lectures at the Universidad Politécnica. I may be able to log on with a group of postgrad EFL students during one of my workshops.

Cardiff is a great city. The last time I was there was in May last year, watching Munster beat Toulouse in the Heineken Cup Final - exciting match in the amazing millennium stadium. Do take time off to explore some of Cardiff's excellent pubs and restaurants.

Graham

And I also hope we'll be able to meet at one of the talks or events.

I'm hoping to see many f2f of you at the Pecha Kucha night (Thursday) - last year's event was so much fun - and this time there are a few more surprises in store!

I'd love to see people live blogging / twittering pecha kucha....

What are the reports on double conference fatigue of being in Cardiff live and online too?? Would you like a 3rd life now?

Lovely to read your tweets!
