You have received this email from a colleague. Use the information in the

email to complete the notice for the conference.

As you know I’ll be away on holiday for 2 weeks from tomorrow and I’ve only just got all the information we

need about the conference at Hull University. Could you put together the notice to send out to all the

delegates? The conference is on 14th and 15th July and people need to know that it’s all happening in the

Scott building. Dr Douglas is going to get things rolling by talking about ’The role of online education’.

Various companies who are interested are going to have all their stuff out in the lobby between the Scott

building and the cafeteria. In the afternoon there will be lots of specialist workshops where people can find

out more about particular online courses. People will be able to get a list of these from reception when they

check in. Don’t forget to mention practical things like there’ll be coffee for them when they arrive on Sat am.

Oh, yes, and people have to tell us if they are vegetarian so that we can let the cafeteria know for the lunches.

They can only park in car park B, the other one will be in use for the university staff. As for money matters,

it’s £500 for everything, accommodation for one night and meals. Ask them to make sure they write Hull

University Conference Centre on the cheques. And last but not least they can get a Conference Certificate if

they tell us beforehand.
