You may remember, a little while ago that we put out a very small questionnaire about Saturday conferences. It was an interesting exercise and helped us to make a big decision about (R)Evolution this year, so thank you to everyone that participated.

The results were actually really interesting and not at all what we expected. I’ve attended quite a few weekend conferences and I always really enjoy them. For me, as a small business, I can actually relax and enjoy conference without having to worry about checking my email or finding some where with decent wifi so that I can update something urgently. However, I’ve always thought that maybe I was in the minority because Saturday’s eat into family time (don’t get me wrong, I don’t prioritise conferences over family), so the results were really surprising!

We’re SUPER excited to announce that Shropgeek has been nominated in the Grassroots Event of the Year category at the Net Awards 2014 for our conference (R)Evolution. How awesome is that??

We couldn’t have done it without your support though, so thank you so much! It is amazing to be nominated but of course it would be even more amazing to win! So please help us to make that happen.

It may only be January but there is no such thing as rest when planning a conference. Last year was so much fun, we are keen to get plans underway for 2014 so that we can do it all again!

So save the date! It’s happening all over again on Friday September 26th 2014. The venue will once again be the Shropshire Conference Centre because, lets face it, it was fantastic last year!

Do you fancy speaking at a Shropgeek event or would like to request a topic or someone specific? If so, we would like to hear from you.

Our Rebellion events are created with you in mind. Our aim is to provide the same calibre of talks as (R)Evolution but in a much less formal, more social environment. We also want it to be a safe environment for those people who have never presented before and fancy giving it a go, or have a big talk coming up and want to give it a trial run in front of a friendly audience that will give honest and helpful feedback.
