With only a little over two weeks to go until the event itself, SLF Extra has been launched today, via the National Site in Glow. The Glow group has been designed with Glow users from all over Scotland in mind, not just those who are able to attend the festival.

Glow TV will aim to bring you as much content as we possibly can, with all keynote speeches streamed live through Glow and sign-ups and links available through the GlowTV schedule. Glow TV will also present a number of ‘Best of SLF’ broadcasts from our temporary studio at the SECC, where we aim to capture the key discussion topics from the Keynote speeches and allow Glow users to take part (through the Glow meet chat pod) in our studio discussion with our panel in Glasgow.

If you cannot take part live at the time of broadcast, there is, of course, the ‘Watch Again’ facility in Glow TV, where all broadcasts will be available after the event. SLF Extra also has a discussion forum, with a number of topics already raised to invite Glow users to engage in discussions that SLF raises. In addition to that, the Glow team will be armed with video cameras and audio recording devices to capture as much content as we can and have a festival team lined up to get that content to you through SLF Extra on Glow.

We will blog and we will tweet and, though we will probably end up with sore feet, we will make sure we bring Glow users as much of SLF as we can. SLF Extra is where you go to find it.
