Have-a-Go area

This area is open from the start of the pre-conference activity and reading week, i.e. Tuesday, 16th November. It is primarily to give JISC projects an opportunity to showcase their work. Projects may, during the reading week, offer live events, or provide other resources for delegates to read, use, and experiment with. There will also be a dedicated discussion area for each project. There will be the following sessions:
