More information and possibility to book a ticket here.

Already booked my ticket a couple months ago when there was no program available yet. Reports from a similar Modular Building event in March seemed great, so hoped that this one would we interesting too. Happy I did, as it sounds pretty good.

Anybody else planning to attend?

Thanks for the heads up @stlux.
