Primary › Events and Training › RM Primary ICT Seminars - Spring 2007

Enthusiastic about ICT?

The RM Primary ICT Seminars are a great chance to keep up-to-date and get your hands on the latest ICT.

The events are free and have attracted nearly 1,000 teachers and ICT co-ordinators from across the country over the last two years. Based on their feedback the spring 2007 seminars will feature an additional session in a new and improved format, so you can get even more out of the day.

It's a great opportunity to network with colleagues, authorities and RM staff away from the hustle and bustle of the classroom. Join us for discussion on the future of Community Connect, and find out how ICT can help you to get the most out of your whole class teaching.

Register for one of our 8 venues, by 30th April, and be entered into a prize draw* to win a Canon Powershot A460 digital camera.

Due to the continual success of the seminars, we have outgrown some of our current venues, and therefore moved to larger venues which can accommodate our events more comfortably. The venues we have changed for Spring 2007 are listed below. We hope you like the new venues and would welcome your feedback; either by emailing us at techseminars@rm.com or speaking to one of the registration staff on the day.

• Crowne Plaza, Birmingham has been changed to Ricoh Arena, Coventry
• Whitehall Place, London has changed to Holiday Inn Kensington Forum
• Marriott hotel, York has changed to Thorpe Park, Leeds
• Hilton Hotel, Stansted has changed to Belfry, Cambourne Cambridge.

The move to larger venues in Coventry and Cambridge has replaced the need for a venue in Peterborough.
