Ian Cooper, Alan Dean, Robert Grigg and Ben Hall are organising ALT.NET.UK (http://www.altnetuk.com) on Friday/Saturday 1st/2nd February 2008 in London. This is a different kind of event that has gained popularity in the US and they are trying it out here. The website says about the conference:-

Whoever shows up is the right group. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have. Whenever it starts is the right time. When it’s over, it’s over. An Open Space conference’s agenda is decided upon by the conference participants during the opening of the event.
