Hi Symon :)

I have hard a lot about this date in relation to it being the 6th month anniversary of the majority of Occupy camps in the world - each camp celebrating its founding. Would it be really difficult to move this NC to the following week or other? Maximum attendance would be great and I think lots of us will want to be, where we were, on October 15th 2011.

So looking forward to another National Conference :)

Hi Tina,

Unfortunately i have no way of changing the date to coincide with the 6 month anniversary but we will be sure to celebrate nonetheless. Are you part of a UK Occupy Group?  

Would be good to see you at the conference :).

Feel free to contact me anytime.

Hi all,

The 4th National Conference dates are actually Friday 13th April, Saturday 14th April and Sunday 15th April so I'm going to start a new thread going. Pirate Pad isn't working to well at the moment. Thanks to Symon for his work on it.

Hi Symon

I would like some discussion about promoting and supporting "Ambassadors", for the movement, everywhere around the country. Their role would be to dissseminate information from Occupii in their locality. This way we will be taking power back from the 1% and their friends in the media.
