Preston Event Cancelled

It has come to my notice that the S1000D event scheduled to take place in Preston later this month has been cancelled.

This is a pity because in these straightened times it is very difficult for most of us involved in the S1000D community to travel outside the country in which we live.

I understand from a contact that the AIA event which took place in the States this year had an attendance which was quite a bit down on last year. Indeed I understand the the numbers were roughly half what they had been (I hope my information is more or less correct). Clearly the economic situation has affected pretty well all of us. (There are some notable exceptions in the UK of course - if you have been following the UK press revelations).

If there are any other conferences or get events that I hear about that are in any way related to the S1000D community, I will, of course, be putting details on this Blog. If you know of any which are taking place please let me know.

In the meantime we have noticed an increasing interest in S1000D here in the UK so perhaps the next level of users are rolling out - something positive in contrast with some of the doom and gloom of today.
