Good news - as the credit crunch bites there are quite a few people who'd love to attend the NLab Social Networks Conference but can't spare two whole days away from the office or commit funds to the full delegate fee.

That's why they've condensed two days into one and found a way to make it free to attend.

The conference will now take place all on one business day - Thursday 19 June 2008 - and it will be FREE.

How to get a free place

• To book a free place, register online here
• If you have already paid, do nothing. NLab will be in touch with you very soon to refund your money and confirm your registration.
