Inside LabourStart

I’ll be going to Istanbul on Thursday to meet with our Turkish partners. I have a fairly long agenda, including the following:

• Timetable for conference
• Plenaries – speakers
• Workshops – subjects, speakers
• Interpretation
• Costs and fundraising
• Hotel for foreign guests
• Evening activities – walk, cultural events
• Conference website – including Turkish version
• Registration procedure – also in Turkish
• Logo, banner
• Formation of a conference committee – other partners in Turkey

So far, 186 people have expressed an interest in attending, according to the Facebook page for the event, with 60 of them saying they will attend for sure.
