Dear [name],

Welcome to SoCraTes UK 2026! We are very excited to hold this event once again and see you there once more.

The thing that makes the SoCraTes events special is all of us - the sessions and conversations that we take part in all contribute to the magic of the event. Now might be a good time to think of any lightning talks you might be able to give (they can be super informal, without slides and all!), sessions you could run or would like to see happen.

We also would like to make the event work for you: tell us about your dietary and other needs via the participant preference form 📝. Please fill it in by 3rd June so we have time to adjust.

We will have kits with masks and COVID tests available on arrival (one for each day you are at the event).

We have more details available in our Attending SoCraTes UK guide, which includes how to get involved ahead of the event (tl;dr whoami, session incubation and arrivals).

We are grateful to our sponsors cyber-dojo and Jitter Ted's TDD Game for their support. You will be able to find out more about them in our sponsors’ corner during the event.

A reminder that all attendance is subject to payment in full before the event and your agreement with our code of conduct and terms and conditions. You are [fully paid | not paid].

We look forward to spending time with you soon! In the meantime, we’re here if you have any questions: reply to this email or use one of our contact methods. The fastest response time is probably the #ev_socratesuk channel on the Software Crafters Slack.

Kindest regards, The Organisers Alex, Amélie, Chris, Clare and Ian
