 Friday 25th & Saturday 26th November 2005
Heriot Watt and Edinburgh Universities
The Naace Primary Community Conference is Naace's major annual conference aimed at its Primary Community. It brings together colleagues from all over the UK and beyond, to network, share best practice and exchange ideas. The conference is open to both members, non members and sponsoring partners and has a rich and varied programme of hands-on activities and presentations. We are looking forward to renewing old acquaintances and making new friends in the course of a lively and stimulating couple of days. This look's like a weekend to remember! There might even be time for a bit of Christmas shopping in Edinburgh, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

The conference begins on the afternoon of Friday 25th November 2005 and events on the Friday evening will be held at the Edinburgh Conference Centre located at Heriot Watt University on the outskirts of Edinburgh. There is a limited amount of accommodation available on the Heriot Watt campus.

Naace Executive Committee member Alan Rodgers writes:
'We hope lots of members are looking forward to the Primary Conference in Edinburgh. Besides the chance to catch on all things ICT there is also a chance to meet up with people and share ideas. On the note of socialising, Roger Keeling and Alan Rodgers are staying over on Saturday after the Edinburgh Primary Conference. If anybody wants to join us we are staying on at Herriot Watt University and would enjoy the company of other members doing likewise.'
