It seems strange to refer to the SOTR Europe events as being "sold out" when the events are free, but referring to them as being full makes them sound more like everyone is drunk - or maybe it's a Scottish thing??

Anyway, registration across the board is at 86% with Amsterdam, London and Zurich having already "sold out" their ticket allocation. We've already increased capacity for Amsterdam due to demand, and we've put standby lists in place for both London and Zurich with the aim, depending on demand, of increasing capacity.

Brussels and Milan are both doing well for registrations, but surprisingly Munich is lagging well behind. Maybe folks are planning a holiday after Oktoberfest? :)

We've been fairly quiet about SOTR Europe, and let it push itself along. We're now a month away from heading to Munich, the first date of that tour which also takes in Zurich, Milan, Amsterdam, Brussels and London.

We're delighted to say that both Amsterdam and London have sold out. Even better is that the demand for Amsterdam has so good that we've managed to push the venue to the limit and open up registration again for another 20 registrations. Once those are gone, there will be no more.

We're created a standby list for London, and we'll look to find space for those on the list if there is enough demand.

The great thing about this tour is that it's going to see us visit 400 ColdFusion developers. Taking in the 230 developers we visited as part of SOTR UK, we'll have reach over 600 European CF developers. That's absolutely fantastic!

The European tour is also seeing a number of European ColdFusion companies sponsor the tour, including Prisma-IT, Herrlich & Ramuschkat, and Tesi, as well as long time SOTR sponsors Intergral. We've also got Straker Software sponsoring a number of events. And we're still working on a few others - more details soon!

This is going to be a great tour, and with any luck we'll have some announcements about SOTR 2010 as well.

Well, I'm just under four hours from jumping on a plane from Edinburgh -< Heathrow -> Dulles to attend/speak at CFUnited.

I was planning on posting my schedule, but to be honest, it's kinda pointless as I know I'll never stick to it. I'll undoubtedly get hi-jacked by something and end missing a few of the sessions I have penciled in to attend.

But that's the fun of conferences..

Anyway, I'd due to land in Dulles 15:08 "your" time so I should be at the resort around 16:00, just giving enough time to dump a fresh load of ice on Charlie Griefer's bed. Ah, CFUnited 2006 ... how I remember thee.

It's Scotch. In Europe. It's Free. Go Register.
