Find out more about the UKMW11 conference on 25 November 2011
and how to register at http://bit.ly/ukmw11
****************************************************************
While you're thinking about tickets etc, I thought I'd also let you
all know that there will be pre-#UKMW11 drinks/meetup in Bloomsbury on
November 24. It's also open to people who can't make the conference
itself.
Cheers, Mia
