There are 9 facilitators. You will end up in one of these groups. Click the link to facilitators on the left menu to see what they are doing on the day. Each facilitator will have a group of 5 participants. After each of the first three presentations, they will guide their group through an analysis and recording session. In the fourth presentation, they will walk you through a process of contributing to a Wiki and setting up your own Blog. After that, they will introduce you to IT tools (Web 2 and other) that they are passionate about. .======
