Am very interested to hear what Microsoft have to say. For one thing it’s not often you hear news from them specifically for the UK and secondly I’m gagging to hear if the cashback available to buyers in the US will hit the UK in time for Christmas this year.

Chris,
The good news is that Microsoft won’t just be presenting but they’ll be exhibiting too, so everyone will get a chance to meet them.
They’ve also promised some freebies. And we all like a bit of free swag. ;o)

I am looking forward to hearing from Microsoft and seeing what RA has to say about the next 12 months on eBay. Also hoping to listen to DW and if I get time a sit down with Channel advisor.
Also looking forward to teaching Chris a few lesson’s on the green baize.

Does anyone know if transcripts of the seminars will be available for ones where they double and we can’t get to both at the same time (unless the Big Bang scientists developed a way to split people as well as atoms)?
Dan – will you have any handouts – you are doubled with Paypal, I think I need to go there, but want to see yours….

piss upnetworking session afterwards?Dan Wilson says

Josordoni,
Yeah, unfortunately there are going to be some inevitable clashes, although we’ve tried to avoid it as best we can.
Handouts are a good idea, and we’re looking at putting the presentations online. I can’t help thinking, with the help of modern technology, whether there isn’t something we can do with video/recorded audio. I’ll have a think. ;O)

If anyone is flying into Stansted on Friday around 1900 we will have 2 seats spare in the cab if you need a lift into town.
Still not booked a hotel, to many nice ones to choose from !! Doubt I will be allowed out to any clubs lol.
Be interesting to hear what Microsoft and RA have to say, shame DW clashes with Paypal though.

Well, for people who aren’t predominantly eBay traders/retailers (service providers, freelancers etc) PayPal might be of less interest to them, so it’s only fair to provide something absorbing to them.

I’ll have to give paypal a miss now, watched the vzaar (About) video earlier, very entertaining. ( http://vzaar.com/about )
