The guys who are organising this event. (Bob Phillips, Roger Govier, Andy Pope, Charles Williams, Simon Murphy and I), have been overwhelmed by the response for the forthcoming event in London on April 1st and 2nd.
We have been 'technically full' almost from the start with floods of delegates and are operating a reserve list. (We have even had to turn down adverts on the likes of Office Online, etc). As it is a free event however, people do not have huge amounts of 'skin' in the day, so we are emailing regularly to ascertain if people can still come and then promote from the 'wait list'. (MS advise us that up to 40% can drop out of free events, although we have more than that on reserve too).
It should be a fantastic couple of days for the 104 delegates anyhow, whoever they may be.
The update is that, 'the guys' are also talking about a repeat in the autumn with priority given to people on the reserve list. We have not all agreed yet and not approached MS, but this is the current thinking. It certainly could be filled, no doubt!
