\nI always look forward to this time of year as the annual UKOUG conference in Birmingham approaches but this year I think I’m looking forward to it more than ever.<\/p>\n
As I’ll have delivered both of my own presentations at previous events my slides will be done before I arrive and so, after a nice trip back to Edinburgh on the way, I should be able to relax even more during the social events and make the most of the absolutely top-notch agenda. My only real problems with the agenda are that after my own slots were shuffled around a bit, I’m going to miss other presentations I wanted to see but agenda clashes are inevitable at UKOUG.<\/p>\n
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Let’s see how many attendees I get at 9:00 on Wednesday morning for a statistics presentation! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
