The Global s Summit takes place on December 10th and is an opportunity for
contributors and community members to take stock of what we’ve done,
promote our successes, and brainstorm about what a global citizens’
media community might accomplish going forward.
As a bridge blogger for the project, covering Cambodia, I'm delighted to have the opportunity to participate. And, even more exciting to be able to meet some virtual colleagues face-to-face, like Tharum. The official program. As you can see, the list of participants is small to keep the format interactive and discussion-oriented.
However, if you can't make it to London, you can still participate remotely. Here's a list of people planning to do so. The pre-conference wiki is here.
I've got to get organized ... so here's my pile of links that I'll need to get myself to London.
Airport:
Arrive in Terminal 3 from Boston on Virgin Atlantic red eye at 6:33 a.m. Get a latte as soon as possible.
Tharum Arriving in Terminal 2 from PP via Bangkok and Paris on Airfrance Flight 2670 at 7:50 a.m.
meet at #16 on this map. If delay or problem, can page each other at BAA info booth near customs exit.
Take Heathrow Express (can buy ticket at airport, train leaves from Terminal 2 - costs 13 pounds one-way can use credit card). Take to Paddington Station.
