Did you know the Festival is also taking place in Glow this year? Using Glow, you could ask your seminar, spotlight or keynote speaker a question prior to attending their session. Better still, you will be able to revisit the session recorded in Glow, and even continue the discussion after the festival has finished. Glow will also be the only place you can find ‘Conference in Pictures’.
If you have a Glow login - go to the SLF Extra tab in the National site and join the discussion.
