Dear colleagues
With just over 2 weeks until UKNOF29 & Internet Society ION Conference on 8 & 9
September in Belfast, a reminder to register for the meeting if you are
planning to attend.
EARLY BIRD (ie, free) registrations are only open for 7 more days (until
11.59pm on Thursday 28 August), after which, registrations will be chargeable.
Early registration also helps us with our meeting logistics - as various
deadlines to the venue and other suppliers need to be met very soon.
The registration page is at:
http://indico.uknof.org.uk/confRegistrationFormDisplay.py?confId=31
Please note, if you are from a sponsor or potential sponsor organisation,
please email [email protected] for your registration instead of registering
via the above link.
This is looking to be another popular meeting as registrations are going well.
:-)
If any of your colleagues/customers would be interested in attending UKNOF,
please pass this email on to them.
ACCOMMODATION BOOKING - deadline Monday 25 August
------------------------------------------
If you are still looking for accommodation, the negotiated rates are only
available for another 4 days (until Monday 25 August).
Further information and booking details of those hotels, plus a link to other
hotels in the area are at:
https://indico.uknof.org.uk/internalPage.py?pageId=2&confId=31
The negotiated rates range between £65 and £145 including breakfast and VAT and
bookings are flexible (ie, may be cancelled closer to the arrival date - no
payment processed on booking, although your card details will be required to
place the reservation).
All bookings are online and are on a limited first come first served basis.
Once the allocations are taken up, standard hotel rates will apply. If you have
a particular hotel preference, it would be advisable for you to book as early
as possible.
Our negotiated rates cover the period 5 - 10 September. If you are staying for
the RIPE training and require an extended stay then please get in touch and we
can see how we may assist.
A handy area map (showing the location of the venue and hotels) is at:
