UK Excel User Conference |
| The second installment of the UK Excel user conference was held the 7th and 8th of October 2009. This was a re-run of the massively oversubscribed event we ran back in April 2009. |
| The event was again generously hosted at Microsoft London in Victoria, at no cost to the attendees. The event was scheduled for around 100 delegates, in the end about 90 actually attended. |
