Lunchtime+marketplace

Over lunchtime, there will be a chance for people to talk about their work and for others to hear about what they are doing. There will be an informal 'marketplace' set up, where at least four people at a time introduce what they are doing, and others can visit the 'stand' that is most relevant to them. If you'd like to talk a little about what you're up to, please sign up here. //NB - there won't be AV equipment for formal presentations, it'll be about getting a conversation started about what you are doing//
