NEW to VALA in 2010

If the VALA L-Plate Series is a fun way to brush up on your knowledge, the VALAtech Boot Camp is our new series of high-end technical and practical sessions. Book into these interactive sessions (no passive participation here) and expand your knowledge of some of the key and emerging technologies used today. As a high-end and practical stream, a core level of technical knowledge is required. Participants are also asked to bring their notebooks / netbooks. All Boot Camp sessions are Macintosh and PC-friendly. The VALAtech Boot camp is free to delegates, and spaces are strictly limited. The VALAtech Boot Camp runs from Monday 8 February to Thursday 11 February.

Detailed VALAtech Boot Camp programming and booking information available here.


On Monday 8 February, VALA will present the 2010 L-Plate Series. This is a series of introductory sessions focusing on technologies that will be discussed in more detail during the VALA conference. Brush up your knowledge and enhance your VALA2010 Conference experience by attending the VALA L-Plate Series. This series, which runs from 1300 to 1730, is free to all VALA2010 Conference delegates. The 2008 VALA L-Plate series proved to be very popular, with 96% saying it exceeded their expectations, so book early as spaces are limited. L-Plate Series registration includes afternoon tea.

Detailed VALA L-Plate Series programming and booking information available here.
