UKLUG2009

If you’re going to UKLUG…

…we’ve been waitlisting new registrations for about a week now, even though there is still a month to go. I suspect that the announcement of Bob Picciano as the keynote speaker was what pushed us over the top so early on this year.

This is great news for us, especially when conferences are suffering so much in the current economic strife. But what it does mean is that, if you’ve registered you have a certain amount of responsibility. If you do not turn up to the event then your wasted space could have been taken by someone else. Given the amazing agenda that we’ve got set up, we want as many people as possible to be able to attend.

If you can’t make it, that’s fine, but could we please ask you to log in to the site at http://uklug.info and click the profile link on the top right and then the “Cancel Registration” button. This will allow us to approve the next person on the wait list in your place.

UKLUG Progressing

During the week we published the first round of approved sessions on the UKLUG site. So far we have some really great looking sessions that are going to be given by stalwarts of the Lotus Community such as Rob Novak, Paul Mooney, Bill Buchan, Warren Elsmore, Steve McDonagh, Gab Davis, John Head, Ben Poole and Stuart McIntyre (amongst others), but the real beauty of events like UKLUG is that it gives an opportunity for some new speakers to enter the fray as well.

There is still a little bit of time to get your session in if you want to get into the Lotus speaking world. As a new entrant myself, I can’t recommend it highly enough, it’s a lot of work and scary as hell, but ultimately good fun and good for your CV as well.

If you don’t fancy speaking and hadn’t decided whether to attend UKLUG, hopefully the sessions we’ve published so far will help you make the decision.

Get your UKLUG abstracts in

We’re getting into that stage before UKLUG where we are starting to plan the actual content for the conference days. We’ve already had a lot of submissions from people who would like to speak, but we are looking for more, we have four rooms available and three tracks (Admin, Dev and Management) so hopefully we’ll be able to cover your area of interest.

So if you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at public speaking, or you’re a seasoned veteran and haven’t yet got your abstract in, go to the UKLUG site, log in (or register if you haven’t yet), go to your profile and click the “Propose Session”. We’ll be notifying the few, the proud, the brave, who have been accepted in the next couple of weeks.

UKLUG Registration is Open

The big switch has been flipped this morning and the spangly new UKLUG Site has been opened up.

So if you want two days of great sessions, networking, sponsors and maybe a bit of fun then head over to uklug.info and sign up. Once you are approved then you’ll also be able to submit session abstracts if you’d like to speak, or sign up as a sponsor if you want to get more involved.

See you in Edinburgh in October.
