The third day – reminiscent of one of my favourite films, The Third Man. Some serious papers, excellent posters and demos. It was the conversations in the corridors that I enjoyed most…
Thanks to Paul and Michelle for the evening reception – and in case anyone is wondering about exactly which winery Michelle was referring to it was Bloodwood in Orange!
Congratulations to Georgia Tech who will be the hosts for ICTD2012!

Thanks to Ugo for arranging all of the evening social events during ICTD2010, and especial thanks to Fftang! FFtang! for the great party this evening! Clearly some of the best ICT4D brains occasionally need to recharge their inspiration on the dance floor! Brilliant atmosphere, and great to see so many people having such a good time.

Great Keynote Address by Geoff Walsham at ICTD2010 – reminding us not only of the importance of the FOR DEVELOPMENT in ICT4D, but also that one can combine high quality scholarship with a touch of levity! His jokes were a definite antidote to any excesses of the night before, and inspired us for the third day of ICTD2010.

It was great to hear Sir Tim Berners-Lee give a Keynote Address at ICTD2010 on 14th December. Some photographs are given below:

Through the generosity of the sponsors of ICTD2010, we were able to make more than 100 offers of scholarships, most of which covered flights, accommodation and registration. This was an absolutely central part of our agenda in putting together the conference, because we wanted to create an opportunity for all of us to learn from each other. It was therefore great to see so many colleagues from Africa, Asia and Latin America attending, and the rich diversity of our scholarship holders is reflected in the pictures below

Wow! Time passes so fast when you are enjoying yourself!! We had some excellent and thought provoking papers at ICTD2010 on Day 2. Here is just a selection of some of the photographs I took throughout the earlier parts of the day, not only of the plenary sessions but also of the great posters and demos. Thanks to everyone for their commitment and enthusiasm in contributing to these diverse modalities of representing their research.
Oh yes, and I just wanted to add that the conference App is indeed available for all smartphones – through the Web App – and I very much want to thank oMbiel and campusM for the work that they did in putting the structure together and providing this to the conference for free as a partner. If you have any complaints about the content, then that’s definitely my fault since I did this – and yes, the wake up calls and alerts you get on the App do indeed come from my laptop!

Thanks to Ugo for bringing together such an amazing set of ICT4D talent for last night’s party in the Stumble Inn. It was an fine start to the social programme – and thanks to everyone for being so willing to contribute with everything from teaching us how to do Flamenco (Nicholas Negroponte style), to poetry to dancing. The evening finished off with a guest performance from singer-songwriter Roxanne de Bastion…

Wow – what a great set of sessions on the first afternoon of ICTD2010 – everything from IPID’s award for the best postgraduate paper, through practical training in participatory video, to media literacy, SPIDER’s session on decision making and accountability, and a mirror of what’s been happening online! Thanks so much to Dorothea Kleine for putting such a great programme together, and for all the team who registered delegates so swiftly – there’s even a picture below of me thanking Matthew Woodham from Facilities Management at Royal Holloway, University of London, who has been fantastic in ensuring that everything has run so smoothly.

Thanks to everyone for getting ICTD2010 off to such a great start. I just want to thank the whole team of postgraduates, undergraduates and visitors acting as staff for everything that they have done, as well as the registration team who have processed everyone so efficiently! Brilliant effort and team work!
Below are some shots from the morning’s sessions

Come and get your badges, registration packs and meal tickets!
