FAQ's for the meeting

Does it cost anything?: There is no entry fee, but you have to buy your own drinks (and one for the special guests),
Do I have to book?: No.
When do the speeches start?: There aren't any. This is informal discussion between all participants.
Is it just for computer nerds?: No, we get other information professionals, including librarians, press and records managers. Even the odd politician on occasion.
Is it only for important people?: On the Internet everyone is important.
