===================================================================

 Wednesday 6th February 2013


There will be two streams running throughout the day, the Developer Unconference and the Workshop Sessions. The Developer Unconference has been designed for people who have an interest in working with Talis Aspire APIs and developing integrations with other university systems. The workshop sessions have been designed around getting the most success from your Talis Aspire implementations.


We appreciate that there may be sessions in both streams that may interest you, but would ask that you register for the stream where you want to attend a majority of sessions; we will work to ensure that you can switch between streams as appropriate / share content during the day.

Directions to the University of Kent's Canterbury campus can be found on their website - room locations etc will be confirmed a week prior to the event. This event is free of charge to attend, with refreshments and lunch provided, but travel and hotel costs will need to be covered.


As an aside, if you are planning to stop over, the Universities Business School often uses the Falstaff Hotel, it is close to the Canterbury West train station (for London) and the town centre. There is a bus stop opposite the hotel that will take you to the University Campus.


Look forward to seeing you there.

Kind Regards

Alison
