Richard has announced the first nxtgenug conference (and no, I'm not speaking *sulk*).

nxtgenug have obtained Rafal Lukawiecki for the day, (voted top TechED speaker for about 7 years running). They plan to start with the usual keynote and end with another infamous swag give away in the shape of a game show. Anyone who has seen Richard and Dave "perform" know that attendee's are in for a treat.

One other session which is not on the site will be a session from Microsoft Research. Richard isn't telling me what it's about; so it's a big surprise for me too.

So a bit different from your typical conference – but I'll bet it will be a fun day and it's free to members (just like every meeting, be it Birmingham, Coventry or my very own Oxford branch). If you're not a member it will cost you £55, or you could sign up for an entire years worth of meetings for £89 and come attend the 3 meetings a month and eat a lot of pizza.
