Looking forward to SPA 2009
The annual BCS Software Practice Advancement conference starts tomorrow and I’ll be there to help to help Andy Moorley with the set up and to take part in some of the sessions.
If you haven’t been to this conference before you’re in for a treat – lots of great sessions and a very knowledgeable audience too. I’ve spoken at the last 4 conferences but decided to take a break this year so am under no ‘performance pressure’ this time around 
Sessions I’m planning to take part in – and I mean ‘take part’, there are few sessions where you have to sit back while someone speaks at you – include:
Writing and Reviewing Technical Documents by Andy Longshaw and Nick Rozanski.
Enhancing your professional toolkit by Marina Haase.
Dealing with the Estimation Fallacy by Rob Bowley. (sorry Peter )
Retrospective Surgery by Rob Bowley & Matt Wynne.
and if time (and Andy) allow:
Consulting without Secrets by Marc Evers and Willem van den Ende.
Should be a great event and, with no session to lead, for once relaxing.
I’m afraid I don’t know whether the conference has now sold out, you could try booking here.
More on SPA 2009 later in the week…
LOL! No worries. In fact, I’m hoping we can compare notes in the bar that evening as Rob’s session looks fascinating.
I can’t make the full Sunday session, but I’ll be in London tomorrow late afternoon so I’m sure I’ll either see you Sunday, or Monday at the plenary.
Looking forwards to another excellent conference, and thanks for introducing me to it!
