SES London In February Is Going To Be Massive...

[evilgreenmonkey]

... so hurry up and get your flight and hotel booked or approved by your boss - now! I know it's not until February and there's Paris and Chicago beforehand, but come on guys, it's London Baby!

Who's going, and have you planned any sightseeing or non-ses excursion while you're over?

:cool:

Its a way of life in the uk!

We will have you all speaking like us start by saying "you muppet" to everyone you meet.

We will have you all speaking like us start by saying "you muppet" to everyone you meet.LOL, a little off topic, but a good point. Some of the phrases you may hear me say at SES/LondonSEO include:

Have It My Son/Go On My Son - Sign of encouragement
Back Of The Net - Expression of Success
Bit Of Bully - Play Darts or the pub quiz machine
Give You A Slap In A Minute - You're quite a cheeky person aren't you
Brew? - Would You Like Another Refreshment?
The Old - Symbol Of Ownership i.e. "Get The Old Phone Out" or "Go Down The Old Kebab Shop"
Did You Get A Free House With That? - That sounds quite expensive

:D

Anyway.... back on topic. ;)

Why schedule a conference over Valentines day? And the Docklands? What's there to do out there? So far away from Central London.

Its also a week after Ad:Tech Sydney which I think will be very interesting.

I believe I'm going to sit this one out.

It is a little strange to hold a conference on Valentines Day, although I suppose it allows people to leave work (and the conference) early to get back to their love ones.

As for the Docklands, there are a selection of pubs/restaurants/shops in Canary Wharf and it's also just a few minutes away from trendy Greenwich (http://www.greenwich-guide.org.uk/greenwich.htm) which has a variety of museums and attractions (http://tinyurl.com/yjz6hj). I've heard that there's a Microbrewery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbrewery) next to Greenwich Park as well, which lets you buy a small keg of beer to take into the park (with Global Warming, February may be hot in London, you never know these days). The Tower of London (http://www.historicroyalpalaces.org/webcode/tower_home.asp) is also easily accessible via the DLR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docklands_Light_Railway) which is also in close proximity to St Katherine's Dock (http://www.waterscape.com/eatingdrinkingguide/London/St%20Katherine's%20Dock) - home to Dickens Inn (http://www.dickensinn.co.uk/).

Granted, you'd have a much better time in the Docklands at summer time, although there's certainly a lot more going on then you'd first think. The DLR and Jubilee Tube line also make everything in London just a few minutes away.

LOL, OK Rob, I'm officially passing over my party coordinator hat and responsibilities over to you for this one! The pay isn't much (Danny flipped me a pound at last year's London SES to make my coordination responsibilities 'official' - lol) but the chance to be have this audacious undertaking as all yours for this conference outweighs the pay!

Excel is a little way out of central London but I am sure it will be worth going to :)

[MattUK]

[egain]

Be definitely on my way, just trying to wangle some finances for conference and then were booked.
