Shortly before Christmas the time is running fast for organising the 2012 CEPIC Congress in London May 15-18.

The CEPIC Sub-Committee is concentrating its work on the Truman Brewery (sorry, no more beer produced there) - one of the most exciting places for the New Media people in the City, to make the yearly event a success for the participants from all over the world.

ByAlan SmithOne answer to those people who say Congress is expensive is this breakdown for the CEPIC Congress in London 2012:

There are 40 half hour meetings possible during the allocated table times.

For a UK delegate paying 400€ congress fee that is 10€ a meeting.

For a UK delegate plus a table that is 800€, 20€ for a meeting.

For an overseas delegate paying on average 400€ for a hotel for 4 nights, 400€ for rail or air fare, 400€ for table and 400€ congress fee, all totalling 1600€, that is 40€ per meeting.

What a bargain compared to the cost of travelling around the world for 40€ one to one meetings.

BySylvie FodorOn 1 November, at a hearing held at the House of Commons in the UK, Ben White of the British Library said how CEPIC would be feeding images into the Arrow project. Here is an opportunity to clarify what ARROW is and what CEPIC and ARROW do together.

The full hearing of the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee of the House of Commons has been recorded. It is available on the website of the UK Parliament [Please listen from minutes 10.00 for above mentioned declaration]

Ben White's statement on how "CEPIC will feed images into ARROW" is too simple to be accurate.
