Printed matters/Booklet

From Wikimania 2014 • London, United Kingdom

This page is to assemble the materials required in the printed conference booklet. It deals only with content and ordering, not with design, so do not spend time trying to make anything here pretty! The only design consideration you can use here is pagebreaks, and even then they may be overridden by the designer.

Maps

  • Barbican Visitor information: How do I get there All of London's major airports have direct train links (examples include Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted Express) into the center of the city from which local transportation is available. The nearest tube station to The Barbican is called "Barbican", however the venue is also within walking distance of Moorgate, Liverpool Street and St Paul's stations.
  • The Barbican Area
  • Barbican Zones: Blue = sessions, Yellow = breakout / hackathon, Red = exhibition / catering

The Venue

  • [1] About the Barbican: The Barbican exists to inspire people to discover and love the arts. We innovate with outstanding artists and performers to create an international programme that crosses art forms, investing in the artists of today and tomorrow.

A world-class arts and learning organisation, the Barbican pushes the boundaries of all major art forms including dance, film, music, theatre and visual arts. Over 1.8 million people pass through our doors every year alongside hundreds of artists and performers from across the globe, while our creative learning programme underpins everything we do. The City of London Corporation is the owner, founder and principal funder of the Barbican Centre.
