E-learning conference for all teachers at all levels | Can you help me pick a date?

Hello!

As part of my day job I'm planning an e-learning conference for next year.

It's going to be open to all teachers at all levels of the education system and so I want to hold it on a day that is most convenient for teachers to attend.

I was wondering if you could spare 2 minutes to fill in a very short on-line form to indicate which day would be best for the conference to be held on.

You can access the form here:


Please note: By filling this form in you are not committing yourself to attending or anything like that, I just want to get a feel for which days/months are best for teachers to attend conferences.

Thanks for reading!

Paul.
