Tickets cost £10.00 on the door, or £8.50 online (and let you go back as often as you want for a year).

Bletchley Park is surprisingly easily accessible by rail from London, Bedford and Birmingham, so there should be no excuses for anyone not being able to get there.

What is a Big Geek Day Out?

Big Geek Days Out are "unEvents" - one person organises a time and place for people to meet and that's it. Everything else is done by the people coming to the event.

The idea is that there are plenty of places that we'd like to go to, but for whatever reason never get round to visiting. By someone saying "we're going there on this date" it becomes much more likely that you'll actually get off your bum and visit.

So, that's what happens. The organiser says where and when to meet, and you (as someone who's attending) deal with getting there and buying any tickets needed to get into the place we're visiting. When we went to Alton Towers last year, people organised car shares to get themselves there and sourced buy-one-get-one-free tickets for each other.

Of course, whilst the event isn't classically organised it's still good to know who's going to be coming. If you are going to come along, please add yourself

Back for 2009, OpenTech promises a day of thoughtful talks and conversations with friends. One of the strands we'd like to see running through the day is "working on stuff that matters", whatever you work on.

This event's predecessors, in 2008 and 2005 were low cost, one-day conferences about technologies that anyone can have a go at, from "Open Source"-style ways of working to repurposing everyday electronics hardware. Before that was NotCon 2004, an informal, low-cost, one-day conference on things that technologies were perhaps not intended to do.

About the program: When we look around us, there are things we can observe: Buildings. People. Nature. And then there are things that run unseen through our lives. These hidden forces -- social conventions, biological links, cultural frameworks, coded meanings, complex processes, creative impulses, scientific speculations, software, networks -- are the connective tissue that binds societies together and the engines that propel organizations forward. When illuminated, they offer vital insights into our relationships with one another and our world.

The TEDGlobal program is designed to explore and make visible the substance of things not seen."

It started in the summer 2008 at a lovely Victorian school in Shoreditch, East London

Hundreds of people joined us at 2gether08 over the course of two days of some sunshine and light rain. They arrived from very different worlds; from technology, media, the arts, NGOs, social media experts, campaigners, politicians and entrepreneurs.

Under the framework of a co-created event that combined participant-led content with presentations from the world’s best minds, everyone was there to share: knowledge, ideas, skills and networks. More than that, they came to collaborate and to develop practical solutions to some of our most pressing social issues.
