Hahaha, what is this rubbish? The only building of relevance on Curzon Street in Birmingham is Millennium Point, where the TIC is (and where I go to University). The Hello Digital Festival is being held from the 23rd to the 26th, and there's an accompanying conference, but it's free to enter and is entirely funded by Birmingham City Council and AWM/Screen WM amongst others. Everyone at the BBC knows the only major building in central Brum is in their Mailbox complex, so please before you go fishing for fivers at least make up something half believable. (If there *is* actually an event of this description being held then fair enough, but I find it almost entirely implausible!) As an aside, can we have better moderation of the list to stop this happening? Maybe premoderation of the first couple of posts?
