A4uexpo - The tension builds
I was speaking to someone the other day who asked if I’d be attending any affiliate events in the near future. My reply was: “Nah, a4uexpo next month will be the next one for me.. Hang on.. next month??? Bloomin ‘eck, that crept up on us!” And we’re not about to forget either, as we’re fed a daily update via the never tedious (cough) “xx Days to go” countdown that seems to have started already.
The tension really is building as well, with a fantastic lineup of sessions already announced, and a press release issued today adding further fuel to the fires:
