Generally a couple of thousand delegates, hundreds of talks and a
pretty big exhibition.
I've been going for the last few years, I tend to take annual leave to
attend, like Niall said the main issue is often having to choose
between 4 concurrent talks.
The only complaint I have is that over the years I've been attending
(I think 2003 was the first one I attended) the exhibition seems to
have swung away from technology vendors (my particular area of
interest) towards Apps integration/migration companies and outsource
DBA companies. I guess that's just the way the market is swinging,
it's not like UKOUG can control what businesses want to exhibit.
