I'm attending the conference as part of my day-job. With my attendance being funded by my new employer, I won't be able to officially represent WMUK, and will focus on sessions that are relevant to the job. Then again, if any fellow attendee wants to ask me why I'm wearing a Wikipedia t-shirt, badge, medallion, and cape, they're welcome to start a conversation.
