Events

The second UK Joomla! Day is set to take place over Friday, 13th and Saturday, 14th March 2009, at the Oakwood House Conference Centre, Maidstone, Kent. This is a community event and accordingly is not split into separate business and community days. We will however be running multiple tracks of presentations during the two days. These will appeal to all levels of Joomla! user from all business sectors. You choose which presentations you wish to attend.

The main tracks for the presentations cover Administration, Hosting and Security, Development, Design, and industry Sectors, and within those there will be content applicable to Newcomers, Intermediates, Developers, Designers, Web hosts, and pretty much anyone else you can think of with an interest in Joomla! Most of the presentations are scheduled for 45 minutes each.

In addition there will be plenary presentations on:

• Q&A sessions at the end of each day
• creating JUG’s in the UK
• where the project is currently … with 1.5
• where the project is going … with 1.6 and beyond
• Fame-4-5 (9 x 5 minutes)
• Lump it on Louis

There is a tremendous line-up of the Joomla! good and great (and others ;) ) all aiming to make this a memorable event for the UK Joomla! community.

There are social activities for the event too; on Thursday night we will be holding the Eleventh Hour event for the early arrivals to get together and socialise with the Joomla! Core Team and OSM Board members, and your peers; and on Friday night we will have the Shining event (well it is Friday the 13th after all!) which will follow a similar vein. There will also be plenty of other opportunities to network with many of the good and great as well as your own peers.

The event cost is just £45 per day, plus a small ticket purchase fee. This price includes the presentations, coffee breaks, and a buffet luncheon. There are no separate charges for any of the presentations, breakout groups, or workshops that will take place. There is wireless connectivity throughout the conference centre in case you have time to check your e-mails. We will also be providing a CD of the event, and there will be a "goodie bag". Please note that this is an advanced ticket sales event only; there will be no tickets available at the door on the days of the event.

This is a not-for-profit community event based on the ideals of Joomla!

We remain open for sponsorship offers and are still looking for volunteers to help out over the two days.
