<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This year we will be returning to our traditional user group home of CIUK and will be running a break-out session on the Friday of CIUK (10:00 – 12:00). We’re currently lining up a few speakers for the event,
but if you are attending CIUK in Manchester this year and are interested in speaking, please let me know – we have a few speaker slots available for user talks. I’m sure it has been soooo long since anyone has had the opportunity to speak, that I’ll be inundated
with user talks … </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Apple Color Emoji"">😉</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
