At the UK Association of Science and Discovery Centre's first Annual Conference at Eureka! in Halifax on 15th September, we want to celebrate and showcase innovation and new ideas from people working in our centres. As a way of doing this, we are opening up one session at our conference to anyone who wants to talk about something they think is cool, interesting or innovative that they are doing. We don't mind about the topic as long as it has some link to science and discovery centres. To ensure a fast paced and varied programme, we have decided to adopt the 'Pecha Kucha' format, which means that to communicate your ideas you will have to present them in 20 powerpoint (or Keynote or any other medium you choose!) slides each of 20 seconds duration. So… You have six minutes 40 seconds to share your vision, your idea or your initiative about our field with an audience of your peers... With only an hour to play with, we expect demand to present to outstrip the time available, so a panel including Leigh-Anne Stradeski (Conference Host), Penny Fidler(ASDC CEO) and Ian Griffin(Session Chair) will select the presentations from the submissions we receive. If you are interested in presenting at this session, please send the title of your presentation together with a brief (no more than 50 word) summary to me before 29th July 2011. You will also need to register for the ASDC conference to take part, which can be done at the link below. The panel will make its selections and inform successful presenters by the 12th August.
