Hi All, I'm sorry to say there will be no Edinburgh TV Un-Festival this year.
We wanted to build on the success of 2007 but the cost of running the event at a venue closer to the EICC was going upwards of 10k. The university was too far away and it didn't make sense to do the exact same event at the same venue in my head. The Edinburgh TV festival also wanted to charge us to enter the event on Saturday night and Sunday. It also wasn't a token amount of money, so if you added that to the cost of travelling and overpriced hotels. It just wasn't going to be worth it. Fear not however, we have exciting things coming to backstage on top of the growing pile of APIs and linking data.
