Dear UK Tessiturians,
We are pleased to announce that the 8th Tessitura UK User Conference will take place at Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff on Friday 18th November 2011. We are looking to extend this year’s event by including sessions on the afternoon of Thursday 17th November for those users that wish to travel earlier. As we know more about the proposed schedule we’ll update you but please save the dates till then.
Please check the UK Tessitura User Group to keep up to date on the event details as this is how we intend to communicate with all the potential attendees. Please pass on this email to any colleagues in your organisation that you feel would benefit from attending the conference and direct them to this user group.
We hope this year to build on the success of previous year’s conferences in order to help enrich the learning and information sharing for those users who are unable to attend the Tessitura Network User Conference. We hope to be able to include opportunities to network and to have some sessions delivered by colleagues from across the Atlantic and the Pacific.
If you have any suggestions regarding the conference then please post them below.
Diolch yn fawr iawn / many thanks,
Hazel Robinson

Wow.. We've already received our first phone call and email regarding the event! First question we've had is COST.
The price for the event will most than likely be similar to last year, perhaps slightly more, but we are still working out details and once confirmed you'll be the first to know when posted here. The schedule and format for the Thursday afternoon is up for discussion too. At the moment we are thinking of holding Specialist group / forum sessions and a networking event in the evening. Feel free to let us know what you think!
Thanks,
Hazel
Hello Hazel,
Catherine Hymers from The Sage Gateshead here. We will definately be attending, could you update us on the sessions and timings please as we are trying to confirm who will be attending from TSG, books flights and hotels as soon as possible to get the best prices.
Thanks:)
Hi Catherine,
Thanks for the enquiry. Here's an update on plans so far for the event:
The main conference will be held on Friday 18th November with breakfast available for those travelling from 8am, introduction / welcome at 9.30am, sessions 10am-4pm, and wrap up session from 4pm to 4.30pm. We will also be holding Thursday afternoon discussion groups on the 17th from around 4pm (TBC) for specialist groups, the administrators, development, and marketing etc if you are interested for joining us the afternoon before aswell. This will be followed by a networking event in our restaurant called ffresh with entertainment provided.
The content of the sessions is still currently being discussed but the main focus will be the release of Version 11 of Tessitura. We hope to have sessions scoped by mid September.
Hope this answers some of your questions for now.
