Dear Sue
Together
with the Conference Co-Chairs, Melissa Highton, Louise Jones and Keith Smyth, I
am now writing to invite you to keynote at ALT's 2019 Annual Conference, which
takes place 3-5 September in Edinburgh, UK - https://altc.alt.ac.uk/2019/.
We think what your work and what you have to say would really resonate with our community and contribute to the critical dialogue we seek to foster on technology in education and its political, social and economic context. We are particularly keen to look at the big picture across sectors and find common challenges.
Previous
keynote speakers include Tressie
MacMillan Cottom, Peter Goodyear, Siân Bayne, Bonnie Stewart, Audrey
Watters, Ian Livingstone, Josie Fraser and Laura Czerniewicz.
My initial reaction was that Maren had accidently sent this to the wrong Sue and I did respond to check with her! She quickly confirmed the email was meant for me, and I told her I would be honoured to accept the invitation. In a follow up call with Maren and Martin Hawksey, I was blown away when I saw the venue for the event.
The conference was to be held at McEwan Hall in Edinburgh.

My keynote had the title "Revisiting the affordances and consequences of digital interconnectedness and socially mediated publicness" (Note to self: choose a short snappy title I can actually remember for future talks!)
Highlights of the conference
Frances Bell was awarded Honorary Lifelong Member of ALT for the amazing work she has done for ALT and the community.

Suffice to say this was an experience of a lifetime and I am so grateful to Maren and colleagues for giving me this opportunity and having such faith in me to deliver a keynote.
