Markup UK Webinars in June
Thank You!
Sadly, June and our webinar sessions are now both over. Huge thanks must go to our presenters, Achim Berndzen, David Maus, Liam Quin, Adam Retter, and Erik Siegel, but also to everyone who attended.
XProc Q&A
Achim Berndzen and Erik Siegel answer your XProc questions in XProc Q&A, now available online.
XQuery is the Plumber's Toolkit!
Register now, if you haven't already! Adam Retter will demonstrate how to aggregate Document, Graph, and Relational data using XQuery to produce new information.
Adam Retter to Present on 25 June
Adam Retter, the developer of Fusion DB, one of the lead developers of eXist-DB, the man behind RESTXQ, and an acknowledged expert on XQuery has graciously accepted to present for us. Exact topic yet to be determined, but we think it should be about XQuery and XML databases in some shape or form, and would like your input. Email your ideas to us at info@markupuk.org.

Preliminary Webinar Schedule Published
We're offering (at least) eight webinars in June, all completely free of charge. The webinars will all start at 4 PM BST and will be between 30 and 45 minutes in length.
Registration will open very shortly.
The next physical Markup UK conference is still more than a year away but we'll be offering a series of webinars in June.
With half the globe in lockdown or just out of it, a physical conference is still not an option. There's nothing stopping a webinar, however, so we'll be offering a series of them throughout June. The exact dates and times are yet to be determined but watch this space fore more info very soon!
While you'll have to register, the webinars will be completely free of charge.
Topics? Well, think markup...
News
2020 Conference Cancelled
Due to the extraordinary circumstances, we've had no option but to cancel this year's conference.
Unfortunately, the ever-increasing risks associated with the widespread coronavirus have led us to a decision that, although appropriate under these unique circumstances, undoubtedly will be disappointing to many. This year's conference has been cancelled and we'll be working towards returning in 2021.
Those of you who already registered will, of course, be refunded in full.
Thank you for your interest and support, and please stay safe.
Regarding the Covid-19 Crisis
We're currently looking into what the current crisis will mean for this year's Markup UK conference and will publish more shortly. Stay tuned.
Power to the People!
This year's theme is Power to the People. It's all about enabling users and make sure markup serves them rather than the other way around. Do you have a story to tell? Tell us!
Preconference Slots Available

XML Prague Is Soon Upon Us
XML Prague, our sister conference, is happening on 13–15 February and is thus less than a month away. While booking your flights and looking forward to this year's presentations, you should also start thinking about your markup stories for Markup UK 2020, as we'll be opening the Call for Papers during XML Prague. Or, if you are more of a listener, we'll also be opening early-bird registration then.

We're making room for next year's conference. The previous years have now been archived at 2018 and 2019, and the HTML versions of the proceedings are at 2018 and 2019.
