First of all, it’s sold out, so if you’ve not got a confirmed seat I’m afraid you’ll just have to fight your way past three rows of braided Commissionaires (mostly veterans of the Desert Rats) at Broadcasting House to get to the Council Chamber (like that brilliant scene in Extras where Stephen Merchant tries to vault the security screens to get into a BBC building). If you do have a confirmed seat, on the other hand, please show up at Broadcasting House reception (Portland Place) for a prompt start at 19:00.
Second, the confirmed panel is as follows:
- Tony Ageh, Controller, BBC Internet
- Jem Stone, Portfolio Executive, Social Media for Future Media & Technology, BBC
- James Cridland, Head of Future Media & Technology, BBC Audio & Music
- Tom Loosemore, Ofcom and The Cabinet Office
- Jon Gisby, Director of New Media, Channel 4
- Azeem Azhar
Third, here’s the briefing I sent to panelists yesterday. For those of you who’ve been bugging Mike and myself for tickets, I really am sorry. Next time we’ll book Wembley Arena.
Fourth, if you’ve got a question you think really ought to be asked of this panel, drop me a line and I’ll try to squeeze it in.
Watch this space (and TechCrunch UK) for the outcome of what I expect will be a fascinating debate. I think Mike himself will be live blogging so TechCrunch might be a good place to start.
