The 3rd BCS CMSG Conference is now open for registrations with a good lineup of speakers, and an excellent looking venue.

A number of people commented on problems getting to Cambridge (not so convenient from various parts of the UK), so hopefully Oxford will fit the bill a little better. In addition, we can up the budget a little for a slgithly more commercial venue.

Some other differences this time around:

• PB Projects is doing the bulk of the heavy lifting in terms of organising details etc - yes it costs us, but it seems to be working fairly well. and takes some (though not all - e.g. sorting out timetable/speakers) of the load off the committee.
• Only just realised that offering a group discount might help bring in a few more people - we more interested in having more people there than making a vast profit (haven't yet managed to get the committee fact finding trip to the Caribbean off the ground to spend our current surplus, but am working on it...)

So, the first registrations are already in, and look forward to plenty more!

Meanwhile, am hopefully getting a little breather to allow rather more blogging than of late - have a stack of topics piled up awaiting that spare moment!
