Went along to hear Barry Milsom ... however, he was unwell and Luke Farley stood in for him. Really useful day (lots of other stuff too) and networking. I typed up a few notes that I'll share in "frequent posters" ((here)) noting that The Coffee Shop keeps me incredibly well informed anyway, and I wasn't the intended audience anyway.
