          to Luke John, organising director, &#8220;The start of registration
          represents the culmination of a lot of groundwork in planning
          for the conference and it's a real milestone to be at this
          point in the process&#8221;, &#8220;While there's still a lot to do, it's

          that we've got a great line up of speakers and topics and we
          are looking forward to an awesome conference&#8221;.</span></font></p>
