Scottish Learning Festival News

With the start of the new term, it is time for us to mail your delegate badge. Friday 28 August is the last chance for you to amend your registration details before your badge is mailed to you. To help reduce the carbon footprint of SLF 2009, we will not be issuing seminar tickets; your badge is all you need to get entry to the sessions you have registered for. Please keep your badge safe and bring it with you to SLF 2009.

Another new function to assist you in the booking process this year.

After you have saved seminars to your wish list (using the link buttons on the right had side of the seminar web pages) go the the Wish list page.  Here you should find a list of seminars that you have selected.  Below the table is a link to save these details as an iCalendar file.

Once you have saved this to your own computer, you can import/upload/subscribe this file into your calendar so that you will be able to see all your bookings with their days and start times.

Unfortunately, at present, this does not work with Google Calendar, but is supported in Outlook, Hotmail Calendar, Yahoo! Calendar and 30 Boxes.

Further explanation can be found on our Online Service blog.
