Richard and I will be delivering this and it’ll mainly be demonstrations, hence the exact timing will be a little bit flexible Smile but we’ll provide refreshments and lunch at the end. If you fancy coming along then it’s free and all you need to do is email ukvs@microsoft.com or complete the event registration form.

Cheers,
Giles
