At the last two seminars (Birmingham ’06 and Coventry ’07) I had no problem sleeping – the ‘networking’ in the bar helping me into an unconscious state each night! I believe a couple of attendees took it even further by not actually sleeping but drinking right through to breakfast and then going straight into the first presentation.

As for things you may have missed – perhaps a laptop? I believe the hotel this year has free wireless access so you can check email etc occasionally.

Also. a credit card. Yep, some people do buy the speakers’ offers.

For any ‘first-timer’ who is in doubt, when it comes to clothes, just wear whatever you feel comfortable in.

For me, that is t-shirt and jeans, for others a smart suit, white socks and sandals

Should be a great event, despite my favourite seminar host not being involved anymore.

See you on Thursday for the first bout of networking in the bar!

See you there too. Have packed my Durex (was that on your list?).

Regards, Allen

I’ll be there too – flying down from Yorkshire for Sat & Sun

Look forward to having a pint with you

Cheers

A thorough list, you sound well prepared.
I note you will be using the underground. If challenged by officials in authority, don’t run. Especially considering your likeness to JCdeM.

Is having a joke illegal yet?
