Damn, another one I will have to miss. I won't be back from Boston until Sat 16th. I will however ensure I drink as much as all of you - 5-6 hours in F is hardly worth the sleep!

Put me in as a maybe for now - just need to organise my logistics. I should be heading to LHR that night ready for an ARN weekend so can definitely drop by depending what time I finish work.

I should be able to attend.

Has anyone managed to find any reasonable hotel deals yet? Hilton on that night are costing an arm and leg both in cash and in points!

I know that the Do is low key, but may I still suggest to have at least name tags with the FT handle/user name and, probably, the first name on it as well?

I attended the first Do last year and I found it very difficult (maybe it is me, I don't know) to remember not only the first names but also to be able to match the face and the first name to the respective FT handle/user name.

megaloman, I heard you have some leftover name tags from the Tallinn Do, would it be possible to use those?
