That's a heavyweight list of speakers, Mahross - the conference should prove most interesting.

Just been to one of the lectures. Managed to get off work early. The three talks were:
Stephen Hart - Talking about Op Totalize and transforming operational success into victory.
Ian English - Talking about the success of Op Bluecoat.
John Buckley - Discussing the the myth surrounding British armour during the normandy campaign.
All very interesting.
