If you would like to attend, please let me know by e-mail to conor AT loudervoice DOT com [...]

Evert has all the details so far. Please drop him a line if you think you might [...]

A welcome then to:
Bob Gee of [...]

From Denise in GEP:
I spoke with Cillian in Revenue last week before he went on holidays re coming down to Cork to do open session on BES/SCS- he said although there were headline announcements in the news in the last 2 weeks, the details have still not been worked out and will have to go [...]
