Dear colleagues
With only 2.5 weeks until the UKNOF31 on 20 April at Manchester
Central Convention Centre (10am - 6pm), I am pleased to note that
registrations are going extremely well.
We are also going to have a packed agenda (complete details to be
published soon). Confirmed presentations so far include include BT's
G.Fast and ultra fast broadband (100s of Mb/s over copper), whilst at
the other end of the spectrum, Mythic Beasts will be talking about
building open source platforms to support high profile sites on a
shoestring. Andrews & Arnold will be relaying their BT and TalkTalk
L2TP experiences, whilst Nominum head-up a range of DNS presentations
with an explanation of the evolving threat of DNS based DDoS.
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.
We also understand that plans do sometimes change. In case you have
registered, and for some reason, you are unable to make it to UKNOF31,
please let us know in advance where possible by emailing us at:
[email protected]
If you have not yet registered, or any of your colleagues/customers would
be interested in attending UKNOF, please pass this email on to them.
EARLY BIRD (ie, free) registrations are only open for 4 more days (until
11.59pm BST on Easter Monday 6 April), 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://uknof.uk/register31
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.

£126.65 (£100 + VAT + Eventbrite fee) for non-Patrons, and
£63.65 (£50 + VAT + Eventbrite fee) for Patrons via discount code.
