Dear Colleagues
UKNOF26 will be taking place on Friday 13 September. We are returning to the
15Hatfields venue in Southwark, London.
http://www.15hatfields.com/
UKNOF26 is still over a couple of months away and registrations are going well
- with over 100 people already registered to attend.
A few important announcements:
ACCOMMODATION
---------------------------
London Fashion Week begins on the same day as UKNOF26. As such, hotel
accommodation is very likely to be scarce and very expensive. We would thus
recommend that you book your hotel sooner rather than later.
UKNOF has been able to get some block bookings in a few hotels in the area for
12 and 13 September - however you must be quick as the cut-off dates for the
blocked out rooms and the lower prices only last until Friday 25 July on 3 of
the hotels (95 rooms per night in total) and Monday 15 July on one of the
hotels (55 rooms per night).

SPONSORSHIP
----------------------
We are thankful to Ciena (Gold Sponsor) and Cube Optics (Silver Sponsor) for
providing UKNOF26 meeting sponsorship. In addition, a limited number of UKNOF
T-Shirts will be available for the first time at UKNOF26, sponsored by Go
Communications. hardware.com will once again be sponsoring the post-meeting
social event.
We are limited in number of attendees by amount of sponsorship funding received
and are still open to more offers at the Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsor levels
for the upcoming meeting in addition to Social Recognition (pre-meeting social)
and Supporter Sponsorships. If your company wishes to support us, please refer
to the sponsorship documentation at:

If you are going to attend, registration is open at:
http://indico.uknof.org.uk/confRegistrationFormDisplay.py?confId=28
Please register as soon as you can - of the current 120 sponsor funded places,
104 have already been taken. We are hoping to receive further sponsorship and
will open up more free spaces when that happens. Early Bird (free/donation)
registrations close on 24 August (or earlier if all sponsor funded places are
taken).
