[SENco-forum] Harrogate

Not for their health but probably to raise the BDA profile in order to have
influence in government, but mostly to raise money via corporate fees and
donations.

It used to be about parents pushing for help and information, or the
swapping research info to speed up discoveries, but this can be done so much
more easily via internet now without having to be face to face.

How about live link on the internet to each seminar so that those who cannot
afford to go can still access the latest info?

Probably wouldn't make enough money unless we paid to enter each session.

Come on BECTA this is supposed to be the ICT driven bit of  education.
Could you volunteer to record/transmit sessions?  We should be on web cam,
ipod downloads not waiting for a possible research paper overview on the BDA
site or a distant DvD.

Subject: RE: [senco-forum] Harrogate - BDA conference

I've had a better money spiining idea.

Instead of a conference about dyslexia and dyslexics, why not a conference
for dyslexics? You needn't actually book anywhere, just send the delegates
directions to Leicester, they'll assume its Leeds. They'll be so embarrassed
they'd never consider claiming a refund.

Alternatively, how about a conference for dyscalculia suufferers?
(Dyscalcalcoolics?) Then you would have to hold the conference, but you
could charge what you like, how would they know?

The killer scam would be to hold a joint conference. You couldn't count (the
dyscalcoolics certainly couldn't) the number of ways to make money out of
that.

What, you think people who organise conferences do it for their health?
