LDAPCon 2015 is almost upon us! Good thing too, as it has soaked up a vast amount of my time recently.

We have:

24 Speakers, tutors and organisers 34 Paying punters 13 Sponsors delegates 8 Sponsoring companies 5 Extras for the conference dinner

The Informatics Forum is preparing the spaces for us. There will be two rooms on the tutorial day, with tables, power and network. There will be one lecture hall on the conference days. The circulation space will have poster boards and display tables on all days.

Sponsors will add material to the delegate packs. There will be T-shirts! (that makes it a proper techie conference...)

Early arrivals can meet in The Doctors pub on Tuesday and Wednesday evening.

Event catering will include hot lunches (including vegetarian).

The conference dinner will be at The Caves - literally under the South Bridge. Food and wine included, cash bar available for other drinks.

For those staying in Edinburgh on the Friday night we have booked the Cellar Bar at the Canon's Gait: real ale and pub food available. If we get some indication of numbers the Conference will provide some finger food.

The website has timetables for the event, travel info and venue maps.

I will be travelling to Edinburgh on Tuesday. If you need to contact me by phone from then on, use +44 7708 216138 - also accepts text and email.
