RTPI North East Conference Programme 2010 - electronic conference papers! 

Papers are now circulated electronically,  if delegates are not going to be in their office in advance of the event,  it is suggested they provide an alternate email address, or ask a colleague who is also attending the event to run off a copy for them when they do their own.  

Electronic delegate packs.  The Region's Co-ordinator reports that the system has been very well received.  Delegates really like having a look at the papers in advance and can print off only the information they really want and they can prepare those relevant questions in advance.   It has also been an advantage to those wishing to car/pool or buddy up with travel arrangements, but most importantly it allows us to keep our costs down.  

The provision of papers has always been dependant on the Event Coordinator receiving these within an appropriate timescale to prepare them for printing etc. which doesn't always happen.  Well,  nothing has changed there,  in fact it is even more important that speakers provide their papers by the designated deadline.  There is a lot of preparation work to whatever method we use to provide papers and this is even more important when we are providing papers in advance - as we need to ensure they are received by the appropriate delegate.  

Charges: The cost of the 2010 programme will continue at the same level since 2007,  and when the VAT goes back to 17.5% on the 1st January 2010 we will absorb that increase. 

On behalf of the RTPI NE we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. 

Preparing or 2011.

We are always looking for idea's for events, subject matter,  or speakers,  to assist with the conference programme,  if you have any comments,  please e:mail:  northeast@rtpi.org.uk
