Either way, we would appreciate it if you could let us know so that we can keep our attendee list up to date.

What are the costs?

Ticket prices cover the costs incurred when running an event of this nature. All of our speakers are generously donating their time to make this event a success. However,we do pay for the speakers travel and accommodation, the venue also needs paying for as well as marketing materials to help promote the event. If there is any profit after all of this we donate it to the British Heart Foundation, in memory of Leu Thorne.

Why the British Heart Foundation?

Shropgeek was originally started by Zach Beauvais and Dean (Leu) Thorne. Sadly Leu passed away on 18th September 2009. As holding an event for Shropshire was his idea and he had been living with a heart condition we thought this would be a fitting tribute.
