I am one of the organisers for the Alt.Net in the North Open Spaces event which will be held in Bradford, West Yorkshire on Saturday 18th April. Planning for the session will take place on Friday (17th April) evening. The event is limited to 50 attendees and is filling rapidly.
An Open Spaces event is a sort of anti-conference. Rather than advertise speakers and topics in advance, the speakers and topics are organised the night before based on the desires of the attendees. Anyone can present and anyone can attend any session.
The event is free to attend and is kindly being sponsored by Black Marble, Seed Software, Skills Matter and Agile Yorkshire.
I am really looking forward to the event and hearing from some leading industry figures as well as some great "from the trenches" stuff!
