Serverless Computing London: Time running out on blind bird tickets We're close to confirming the lineup for Serverless Computing London, our three-day exploration of all things sans server, cloud native and more, which means you don't have long to grab a super bargain blind bird ticket. Our committee have whittled down 100 proposed talks to 32 great conference speakers who will be joining us …
Once the agenda goes up, so does the price

Our committee have whittled down 100 proposed talks to 32 great conference speakers
Tactics very reminiscent of dodgy market traders flogging goody bags. What next, then: "independent" testimonials about how wonderful the last one was and how they've signed up blind straight away for this one?
Do the 4 (so far) commentards who poured scorn on this really not see how wonderful it is?
1) "Boss, look at this! Serverless computing seminar. Shiny! I gotta go. Latest buzzwords and all
that. If I don't attend we'll fall behind our competitors."
2) PHB approves travel and expenses.
3) Go to London, go on a three-day bender.
4) Return, explain to PHB everything that you learned by spouting complete gibberish (even had you actually attended, all you would be able to recount would be complete gibberish).
El Reg should arrange more events like this. And the 4 (so far) commentards should read more BOFH.
I wish life was like this, but ...in a world of finite budgets... and several bastards competing for it... a supreme being arises....
OK, while you were reading that in a movie trailer deep voice, and imagining dark smoky images, the PHB decided to go himself. He won't understand a bit, so he will send himself again next year. When (not if...) we fall behind the competitors, some heads will roll... let's see, guess who didn't keep up with the new trends?
Is this some kind of price tag designed to further the "old boys" network approach to IT?
Sure, dedicated training sessions might top £1000, but we're looking at an event that is an opportunity to go and pay even more money, to get that dedicated training.
I think I'll spend that money on a few training sessions and exams
