I am sure that you know this... but the word 'symposium' is defined as a 'meeting to discuss a subject'. In fact... I think it was Plato who took the view that people should drink or be drunk while attending at / participating in... such an event. As you and others will know .... the Greek verb 'sympotein' means "to drink together" I am looking forward to the LawBlog Symposium 2007 I have no idea whether this observation is helpful.... It would, however, be quite amusing to attend an event (Other than an Inn dinner) where everyone was completely pissed... ab initio I don't suppose it would be a great precedent if the first UK Law Bloggers Conference turned into a Club 18-30 piss up.... Will the event itself be 'dry'.... ?? GL…. I am sure that you know this… but the word ’symposium’ is defined as a ‘meeting to discuss a subject’.

I don’t suppose it would be a great precedent if the first UK Law Bloggers Conference turned into a Club 18-30 piss up….

Will the event itself be ‘dry’…. ??

Unfortunately, much like CBUK above, it is unlikely I will be able to leave work at 4pm although I plan to partake of a lengthy lunch break on the 18th.
