Imagine Cup

So, Matt and I have arrived at the top secret location for the Imagine Cup 2008 UK Final (80 Victoria Street, London) and finally managed to get the wireless working long enough to write a blog entry. The schedule for the day is....
11am - Keynote
12pm - Browse posters
1:30pm - A talk on Windows Live Search
2pm - "Working at a startup"
2:30pm "Adapting to a changing environment"
3pm - Imagine Cup Awards Presentation
7pm - Party.
The day seems geared more towards convincing the students that they want to start their own companies, rather than presenting the finalist's ideas. In fact, I've been informed that the judging for the competition is already over and that there won't be any student presentations today. That's slightly disappointing, but the posters are looking good and we've already met up with this year's Aberystwyth team. I'll chat with them more about their ideas later and blog about them if I can get the internet working...

Imagine Cup 2008

"Imagine a world where technology enables a sustainable environment"
So, the Imagine Cup this year is about the Environment and the UK Finals are in London tomorrow. Matt and I have used our contacts and previous Imagine Cup experience to gain entry to this year's UK Final to see what this year's entrants have come up with. We've also been told we'll have wifi access so we can blog-as-we-go. I think Matt's plan is to try and do some live video streaming via uStream, whilst I'll take some photos to upload here. Obviously I'm not the most reliable blogger in the world (once a month isn't *that* bad), but since Mark Johnston's gone through the effort for us, we'll do our best to give some good content.

Till tomorrow...
