At the beginning of December I will be travelling to the beautiful city of Bruges in Belgium to take part in the GroupWiseR Summit.

If you have not been to one of these before it is well worth the trip - it is a small event, 75 attendees and 25 speakers, which means that you get a lot of one-on-one time with the experts. And of course, it is in Bruges, which is about my favourite city in the world. Like Venice only less smelly.
