[57north-discuss] TechFest 2016

[Hibberd, Dave]

Hannah,

Thanks for your email - If you've not had a reply from any of the other 
directors already, we'll have a chat internally and get back to you 
soon, and if you don't hear anything shoot me a reminder message!

I suspect we'd be most easily available for the weekend and the evening 
presentations - how much information do you need by the cutoff date over 
and above a confirmation?

Thanks,

Hibby
