I would have liked to! I realise that I am too late for this event
anyway but, unfortunately, this email was amongst a large backlog that
I am working through now. This sounded very interesting but with only
100 tickets available and those being released at a time when I was at
work, the odds were stacked against me. Apart from the obvious
(money!) , is there any other reason why this event was so restricted?
Whilst it is great that these events are free, I feel that it is not
so good if that means that only a few can attend. I certainly wouldn't
object to paying a nominal amount to attend a whole day's unconference
and, although a couple of pounds per attendee (for example) wouldn't
even come close to covering the costs of the event, it might help
"grease the wheels" enough to consider expanding it. Of course, more
attendees means more money and so on...

Just a thought.
