BETT2006 are you going?

As always last minute with these things..
As some of you may know BETT the largest birtish educational technology tradeshow is happening in London this week, my self and a couple of collegues will be there tommorow. If any one was planning on going and fancy meeting for a coffee or in the bar let me know you can get me via email t.nash at venture-skills dot co dot uk
For those of you who want to be there but can't I'm taking my camera and hope to find a live Internet connection to upload some photos.

I guess I wont be there as I am a few thousand miles far from the location :P but we would love to hear your impressions on this event :)

A short review is up on my blog http://www.timnash.me.uk/bett-summary but it was a real disappointment to the point that my camera only came out once and that was on the train home to snap Dan, but it did sum up the whole event nicely.

Its sad that in what real is the age of the internet that the vast majority of vendors were still pushing very small propriety software designed to force schools and companies into its own peculiarities. Most products on display had no interoperability with each other and no one was really thinking about how there product would work with anyone else.
