Hi Everyone,



UK IUA is pleased to announce that the call for Community Award Nominees
is now open.

deserves the award, to award2010 (AT) iua (DOT) org.uk

Martin, it is off-topic, but just wanted to note that there is no
information about the conference on the IUA website. May I ask why?

There isn't much to say about it yet, other than the date, the city, and
the theme. The call for papers will shape the agenda and the list of
speakers, and once that comes into sharper focus we will start marketing
the conference. The agenda in particular is our most important
marketing tool.

We did select our preferred conference centre last week but we're still
checking some of the details to do with AV and electrical safety and
details like that. If you want to stay up to date with the details as
they unfold we are experimenting with 'blogging'
(http://ukiua.posterous.com/) about the conference.

PS: I sent you a private message via the forum last week; I suspect you
may not have noticed it waiting for you.
