This year the UK Tech.Days team have changed the format of our traditional Tech.Days theatre events into a series of ‘Boot Camp’ style seminars. The aim of these is to allow IT Professionals to have more discussion time with evangelists like Andrew Fryer, and the community to share common problems and solutions – and we’re looking for your help to share these with your users.

The Newcastle Event will host approx. 70 people with a mixture of discussions and practical demonstrations. Although there will be a loose agenda, it will be PowerPoint-free event, allowing the hosts to focus on the questions that our guests ask.
