Dear colleagues
With just over a month remaining until UKNOF31, a reminder of some
important dates before we head off into the Easter break.
Registrations are going extremely well, and it looks like this will be our
biggest Manchester meeting so far with 16% currently registered as first
time attendees. We are hoping to have the agenda published in early April.
Please note that although we webcast and record the presentations, we do
sometimes receive requests not to record or webcast a particular
presentation. If you are interested in all the presentations at UKNOF31,
then please attend in person.
If any of your colleagues/customers would be interested in attending
UKNOF, please pass this email on to them.
[[ ACCOMMODATION BOOKING DEADLINE ]] - Thursday 19 March
We have managed to secure rooms at various hotels at negotiated
rates for UKNOF31 delegates. These are all within short walking
distance to the venue, include breakfast. These are flexible rates (i.e.,
cancellations are allowed prior to arrival in case your plans change).
Each hotel does have limited availability, and a limited timeframe
within which the rates are available, so it would be prudent to book
early.
Further details are at:
http://uknof.uk/accommodation31
The negotiated rates start at £80 for Double rooms with single
occupancy, include breakfast, WiFi 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).
Negotiated rates are available until Thursday 19 March, after which
their standard rates will apply.
[[ MEETING REGISTRATION DEADLINES ]] - Monday 6 April
To help us with meeting logistics, please register for the meeting as
soon as possible.
Early Bird (Free) Registrations are open until 11.59pm BST on
6 April (i.e., Easter Monday) (two weeks before the meeting) at:

Registrations after this are on a paid basis at a cost of:
£126.65 (£100 + VAT + Eventbrite fee) for non-Patrons, and
£63.65 (£50 + VAT + Eventbrite fee) for Patrons via discount code.
Please note, if you are from a sponsor or potential sponsor
