That's a good point/idea.

Open days demonstrated that the EC was about much more than just
technology in and of itself. Perhaps it would be worth speaking with
the CCA to see if one could be scheduled alongside/as part of a bigger
event. ISTR this was done in the past to coincide with the Radical
Independent Bookfair, which served to provide an insight into the
CCA's wider remit as an open, inclusive space, and as such what would
be expected of the EC as a cultural tenant that doesn't pay rent!

Cheers,

Andrew
