Simon Bisley was the artist for the re-launched ABC Warriors strip. He took over drawing Slaine and worked with Neil Gaiman on Batman: A Black and White World. He has collaborated with Alan Grant on Batman/Judge Dredd: Judgement In Gotham, Lobo, Lobos Back and Lobo Paramilitary Christmas.

Alan Grant is probably best known for writing Judge Dredd for 2000AD. As well as his collaborations with Simon Bisley he has written scripts for animation including Action Man, and is the main writer for Judge Anderson and Robo-hunter. He has also set up his own publishing company called Bad Press Ltd.

Glenn Fabry is the award-winning artist who has been creating memorable images for the last 20 years. As well as working for 2000AD on Judge Dredd and Slaine, he has created artwork for Preacher, Neverwhere, and Hellblazer.

The Dead: Most of Britain has fallen to an invasion of zombies. There is no escape from their insatiable appetite for living flesh. But in Oxford an unlikely alliance between a crew of fire-fighters and a pair of misfit soldiers has allowed them to survive. Now, with the city virtually overrun, it's time to strike back!!

An exclusive Forbidden Planet variant cover of The Dead will be available to buy on the day!

* Drink beer and eat Sunday lunch
* Chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy.

Mainly a casual social event. You can expect to meet some very keen wikipedians, however this is also an open invite for anyone interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, projects re-using Wikipedia, and other collaborative wiki projects. Also wiki technology, MediaWiki, or discussing the business impact of mass collaboration. Feel free to come and along raise these discussions over a beer.

It's free to attend of course. The the most reliable list of attendees will be on the wiki page (not this upcoming list) so edit that page to add yourself to the list

Chris Carter created The X-Files back in 1993 and it become a huge hit worldwide. It went on to win numerous awards, including Emmys and Golden Globe Awards. Chris also directed and co-wrote the new movie which reunites Mulder and Scully, The X-Files: I Want To Believe.

Frank Spotnitz is another X-Files legend. He started writing for the show back in 1994 and helped shape the show's mythology. He also directed episodes and went on to become the shows Executive Producer. Along with Chris he co-wrote the new movie.

The X-Files: I Want To Believe: In true X-Files style not too much has been revealed about the storyline but it’s a stand-alone story which takes the complicated relationship between Scully and Mulder in unexpected directions. Mulder is still searching for the ‘truth’ and Scully remains inextricably tied to his pursuits.

No self-respecting X-Files fan should miss this opportunity to meet the men behind one of the most compelling and ground breaking TV shows dealing with all things spooky and sci-fi!

Special X-Files goody bag for the first twenty people in the queue!

Green IT, Innovation, Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, Utility Computing, Portability, Fabrication, Gov 2.0, Cybernetics, Open Source, Social Media and anything else that is interesting

What do I need?
Tent, laptops, wifi, food, drink, coffee, white boards, AV equipment and whatever else you need. You'll obviously need power, so you're going to have to work out how to bring some of that too (solar, wind, pedal etc). With this unconference we're going to be off the electricity grid completely.

Who gets to speak?
Everybody.

Who's in charge?
Everybody.

How did this start?
It was a reaction to Technology of Tomorrow.
They want leaders, we want everybody. They've got the Albert Hall, we've got the great outdoors. They want £750 to listen, we want to talk and interact.

More details about possible train deals you can use to get there once the train companies get their acts together and publish this year's deals. Tickets normally cost £25 for an adult off t'web (plus obviously your cost to get there), but I'm sure that the normal 2 for 1 deals and the like will appear as soon as summer comes along.

This fun day out is open to all (not just geeks). Come one, come all - come to Alton Towers!
