I got an alert about this from Contextures Blog which I subscribe to this morning. I got unhealthily excited about it so I feel I ought to go! It looks like one not to miss.

Nice, work have said they'll pay for my transport and accomodation so I'm in.

I've signed up - nothing like the opportunity for free food and Excel!

My thoughts entirely, Richard!

I am booked up now and ready to go.

Wow! That is a good firm, well done! Unfortunately my work won't pay for me, and I'm presenting

You had better be on your best behaviour, eat too much or ask awkward questions, and you are out. Your reputation precedes you!

I'm signed up for the Thursday; really looking forward to the presentations and meeting some of you!

I told them that you'll teach me so much it will be worth their while. No pressure mind
