If you have put off registering for the conference but plan to attend, please register if possible. This will give us a better idea of how much food we’ll need for lunch and snacks. You don’t want us to run out of snacks do you?
We’ve got a great line-up of speakers (see below) and a wonderful venue.
I hope to see you there.
