Thank you for coming to EMF 2014. Please do the following: Upload links to pictures, videos, blogs, etc on the Memories page. Leave positive and negative Feedback to help us plan future events. If you did a talk, add a link to the resources for your talk. Find the resources for talks you attended.

Don't put your name here unless you really mean it and don't edit other people's words without their permission.

This is a page in addition to signing up to volunteer as part of the ticket buying process. Please make sure that you have bought a ticket and signed up using that method as the emails gathered there will be how we contact everyone.

NOTE: unless you're volunteering as a first aider (and have confirmed ahead of time with the first aid team) you must buy a ticket.
