+We will be in the former Crèche room on Level 2.
+If you're looking to come along and learn, it would probably be a good idea if you brought any devices you're looking to learn with, like a laptop or smartphone.
 ==== Event Topics ====
+At the event, we will organise volunteers into a series of informal tables, each covering a different topic. Attendees can move between tables they are interested in, learn a variety of technologies, and hopefully have a fun time!
-A selection of event topics that might be covered at future CryptoParty events.
+Please feel free to wander around and mingle at your leisure.
-This list is by no means exhaustive, and if there's something you'd like to learn about then please let us know on the mailing list - it's very likely that one of us will be able to cover the topic! Similarly, if there's a topic you'd like to see covered - and you're able to cover it - please feel free to add it to this table.
