We would like to make conference material permanently available. We will do this by using the original programme format. We asked contributors to submit any slides and written commentary and you will be able to access these items. In some cases we were also able to record presentations on video, although the sound quality was erratic. The process will take some time to complete, so this section will develop over the coming months.
There are two ways you can watch these films:
- To watch a specific speaker you can watch the film under their name (the image you see is the same for all films, but once you press play it jumps to the speaker).
- Watch the full version of the session available at the end of this section.
Event 2: Community Energy to the Rescue?
This session contained contributions from diverse practitioners and experts. They show a mix of positive and negative results, including ways things can go wrong. Very much in the spirit of Radical Technology, this is warts ‘n all, not merely propaganda.
