Keith Whiddon, Head of BSF and ICT Innovation at Babcock’s Education business, has been invited by EMAP to speak at the H&V News conference Building Services in Education Schemes, on 21 May 2009 in London.

Keith will be speaking on “Curriculum led cabling: how understanding the learner’s needs is key to working in the education sector" and covering:

• Next generation learners: digital natives
• Personalisation and collaborative learning
• Combining the built and virtual environments
• Curriculum led cabling
• What good looks like - Forest Hill School, London Borough of Lewisham

The conference is being supported by a number of leading industry magazines, including H&V news (the weekly newspaper for the Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning Industry), Construction News, RAC Magazine (for Refrigeration and Air Conditioning professionals), Lighting Magazine, and LGC (Local Government Chronicle).

The event will focus on helping building services professionals improve best practice when working on school schemes, find out what others are doing in the sector, and where the opportunities lie for winning work. Building services designers recognize the need to understand how ICT should be designed for schools, and gaining guidance on ensuring learners have the best IT facilities possible.
