Excellent lectures as usual. Nice to catch up with people and nice to meet some new ones.

Good job Mark, Kim, and all of the lecturers. A very interesting, entertaining, and understandably popular event. Here's to the next lectures

[Claire Beckett]

Well it was my first attendance at the lectures and will not be my last. Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Met lots of great people and really enjoyed the lectures. Put lots of names to faces which was great and really got a lot out of the weekend. It was well worth it.

A big thanks to Mark and Kim and all the lecturers.

Thanks for those kind comments, yes the BTS lectures are all about the social side of things, with a series of great talks, the traditional light hearted opening - which this years was exceptional.

Overall the whole day blends the highly technical with the highly informational and entertaining. Of course plenty of time to sit drink and chew the fat.

Few asked where was Ray and mines bit in the evening, well due to time we where unable to sort something but we will be back in 2010!


We have booked the date, sorted lecturers and booking will go live around July - August.

It was a great turn out and we thought that the economic climbs may have seen a drop of but in fact we had the biggest attendance yet.


So book early for next years folks!

Cheers
Mark
