Dear Rebecca,

I am very interested to attend this event but can't stay in London until
the 26th of January.
However, I will be in London from January 18 till 20th.
Would you mind advising me if I can get any information about/from this
event, attend something similar (in KM area) during that time, or possibly,
get  in touch with any of the presenters (I'm prepared to register formally
and pay a registration fee).

I appreciate your advise in this matter.

Sincerely,

Frada
