Hey, John again. There's a reason I'm not allowed to do our social media posts anymore.

Tickets are going on sale tonight at 6. Things are going pretty well over here at NGCHQ - more exhibitors than we expected, more sponsors, more awesome people coming along to do cool stuff. Oh and also we're trialing camping, which we're not really talking much about but, yeah, we've got camping and next year we might be able to offer it to everyone. How cool is that?

So I've added some extra reduced-price earlybird tickets and turned the referral scheme all the way up like it was in 2023. Discounts for referrals generally, and if you refer 8 people your ticket's actually free.

Proper post by people who take our social media very seriously (and hate when I do these) coming tonight to coincide with tickets going on sale. It helps us a lot if you share *that* post. Please also enjoy this picture of a funny little guy with a cup of coffee I saw in Vienna.

Hey, John here. I've been meaning to do some careful maintenance on our website for a while, so instead I had too much coffee and rewrote the whole thing from scratch two days before tickets go live.
