Evening programme
---------------------------
We're happy to announce that there will be an informal gathering the
evening before the conference. All are welcome! See you from 7pm
onwards on Thursday night, at the Darling pub in central Lausanne
(Place St-François).
The official evening party will take place at l'Atlantic -- previously
a cinema, now a bar and event hall with live music on Friday evening.
As this is a public place, you're welcome to join us too.
We will have reserved areas in both places. Check the blog post below
for more information.

Registration
----------------
We're lucky to have friendly and flexible hosts at the Hotel
Albatros-Navigation, which are allowing us to keep registrations open.
Yay! That means that last-minute deciders still get to come and join
us on the 16th. Don't wait too much though, or you won't get a pretty
printed badge ;-)

Press
-------
Press packages in English and French are available. They contain a
presentation of Going Solo and speaker biographies and photos. You may
download them online on the Press page. We still have some media
passes. Thanks for helping us make Going Solo as visible as possible!

Sponsors
-------------
Have you had a look at our sponsor page recently? We're happy that so
many great companies wanted to be involved with Going Solo:
Expectnation, Taxi-pub.ch, MOO, Salon Mémoire Vive, SmallBizPod,
Dopplr, FreshBooks, The Next Web, DailyMotion -- you'll find out more
of them and what they're bringing to Going Solo by following the links
on the sponsors page.

Videos
---------
We have bandwidth, we have staff, and we have our very own Official
User page on DailyMotion! All the sessions will be recorded and put
online almost in real time. So, even if you can't make it to Going
Solo... you can benefit from it! It won't replace being there, of
course -- people on stage and people on screens don't exactly compare.

That's it for today, folks! I'm heading for the lake to get some extra
footage for Going Solo ;-)
Cheers
