A slide presented at the exchange theatre: I love these simple and easy-to-read slides you can read in a few seconds

It is hard to remember to say PCSS instead of PSNC, but it is nice that the good Polish colleagues are still the same: Cezary Mazurek and Piotr Rydlichowski

The National Health Service, HNS, is the pride of British Society. However, advertising for it in the urinals still seems a bit out the ordinary.

The Brighton Dome is the place where ABBA won the European Song Contest i 1975, and even though TNC has a record-breaking 900 participants this year, we do not at all fill the room

The balcony seats are not used at all

Some people use the seat rows in the concert hall as a quiet place to meet in the breaks. Here, we have Leonie Schäfer from DFN and Bridget Hannigan from GÉANT

...while others just sit down in the middle of everything. Jørgen Qvist from NORDUnet

A session on student mobility in the Unitarian Church

chaired by Ann West from Internet2

From every high place in Brighton, a gull is supervising the tourists and every possible edible thing they drop



The conference dinner takes place at the pier













It could be fun to try, but the prospect of winning a 1m³ plush thing can indeed deter me
