There are a number of differences from the one posted yesterday.
Also, we are absolutely dead chuffed to announce that, work commitments permitting, Gareth David-Lloyd will be attending our opening night reception. I'll repeat that about work comittments permitting-- Torchwood is right at the end of filming and, as such, schedules are changing like mad.
Third, you can hear a podcast about the conference at: http://podcastofimpossiblethings.blogspot.com/! If you enjoy that, our friends from The Podcast of Impossible Things will not only be podcasting at the conference, but will also be in a discussion panel on Sunday morning.
I think that's about it for the moment-- more as events occur. Only one more week!
Cheers,
