Registration for the conference will be opening very shortly!

I’d just like to remind you that the available bursaries for conference speakers and postgrad students will be distributed on a first come first served basis, so please ensure you get your registration in promptly if you would like one.

In order to ensure that you know straight away when registration opens, you can subscribe to this site’s RSS feed, or (if you don’t know what that means!) just email me at sharon.howard@sheffield.ac.uk and I’ll drop you a line.

We are delighted to announce that London Lives Unconference has received some assistance with conference costs from JISC.

We have a number of bursaries towards conference registration fees for (a) delegates speaking at the conference and (b) postgrads attending (or speaking at) the conference. These will be distributed on a first come first served basis.

London Lives Unconference is now a one-day conference on 5 July. If you’re thinking of attending, you may be interested to know that THATCamp London 2010 will be taking place at King’s College London on 6-7 July.

THATCamp London is a user-generated “unconference” that will be held on *6-7 July, 2010*, just before Digital Humanities 2010. At DH2010, the world’s premiere academic conference on the Digital Humanities, you will hear papers and see presentations and perhaps give a single talk yourself. At THATCamp, by contrast, you will discuss, build, argue, share, compare, create and hack: every session you attend will also be a session you participate in fully… We fully expect that having both conferences together will spark some exciting new ideas.

The deadline for applications is 10 May, but applying for THATCamp entails little more than writing an informal paragraph or two about what you’d like to discuss, build, or solve.

There is no formal connection between the two events, but if you’ll be coming to LLU and are thinking of going to THATCamp, it may well be worth mentioning when you fill in your THATCamp application (deadline 10 May). If there’s enough interest it’d be great to have a London Lives-related session and discussions at THATCamp.
