We are really very pleased to annouce Heart Internet as our first Platinum+ sponsor.
Heart Internet have been fantastic supporters of Shropgeek and the (R)Evolution conference over the years, so its awesome to have them on board again this year! As a Platinum+ sponsor they will have a stand on the day and will have a special 5 minute speaking slot as well, so there will be plenty of opportunities for you to go and have a chat with them on the day. I’ve also had a rumour about some cool freebies…
Without sponsors we couldn’t put on the (R)Evolution, so we really appreciate the help and support we receive from them. If you would like to support us in some way, large or small, have a look at our sponsorship pack or get in touch with us at revolution@shropgeek.co.uk.

When the website launched in April, we had one more speaker slot to fill. Therefore, we asked you guys to submit your talk ideas for that final slot. The response was outstanding! We received a lot of really great ideas, so many in fact, that it made it very hard to choose only one!.
We have, however, now chosen our final speaker for the lineup and we are extremely excited to be able to tell you that it is…
Sébastien is a software engineer at the Guardian where he leads the development of Composer, the new digital-first CMS. For his talk he will be telling us all about the challenges of creating a content management system for a platform where presentation is no longer controlled, but informed by the content. We are really excited to have Sébastien as part of the lineup and we’re sure he will be an awesome addition to the day. For the full talk outline check out the schedule.
And a special thank you to everybody that sent in a talk idea. They were awesome, and made it really hard for us to choose just one!
We are very excited to announce that tickets are now on sale for this years (R)Evolution Conference, which is taking place on Friday 26 September 2014.
Once again, the conference will be held at Shropshire’s only purpose built auditorium at The Shropshire Conference Centre, and you can expect a full day of inspiring talks and great conversation.
We already have 8 awesome speakers lined up, with one more still to be confirmed. If you think this should be you, then drop us an email before 12th May 2014 outlining your talk idea, and you could be up on that stage in September too!
We have a limited number of ealrybird tickets available, and once they are gone standard tickets will go on sale for the fantastic price of £89.00. We have also introduced a new ticket type for this year, the Micro Sponsor ticket. This is to allow those people who are small businesses or freelancers to support the event at a much more affordable price than our standard sponsorship packages allow. Micro sponsors will be thanked on the day and listed within promotional materials too.
This event really is not to be missed so book your tickets today.
And finally, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to Martin Wright for designing and developing our fab new website, Stina Jones for the awesome illustrations and Neil Kinnish for the location Map.
