Alt.Net.UK Conference

We are pleased to announce that the Alt.Net UK Conference will be returning in September, and that there will be room for more attendees this time!

The plan is host the event at Conway Hall in London and our thinking is to follow the same sort of schedule as we did in February:
- Evening planning session on Friday 12th September, following by a trip to a bar to socialise.
- The Open Spaces sessions all day on Saturday 13th September

Conference Registration can be found at http://altdotnet.org/events/5

What is the conference format?

The conference will be based on the open spaces format.

Whoever shows up is the right group. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have. Whenever it starts is the right time. When it's over, it's over.  An Open Space conference's agenda is decided upon by the conference participants during the opening of the event.

What is Alt.Net?

Various blog posts have defined Alt.Net.  Term originally coined by David Laribee on his blog.

Who are the organisers?

 Ian Cooper, Alan Dean and Ben Hall.  Conchango and Red Gate are also providing support.

Another huge thank you goes to Michelle, Sam and Danni from Conchango who was on hand throughout the day providing food, drinks and generally being great!
Huge thank you to Red Gate who put money behind the bar on the Friday night and providing three licenses for the .Net Developer Bundle, CodeBetter for sponsorship and finally TypeMock and Roy Osherove who provided three licenses for Typemock Isolator Enterprise Edition
