18 Now the conference has started, I feel pleased with our preparation. The speakers have been popular with audiences. We could ask one or two more next year. The centre we've booked is fine for this time, but the rooms are already being used to their full capacity. If we don't look elsewhere, we'll have to restrict delegate numbers next year. So, we should consider other options. Perhaps the location could also be more convenient for people coming by train.
19 I'm afraid I shan't be able to get to the conference on the first day as we'd planned. My flight's now been cancelled, so I'm trying to make alternative travel arrangements. Could we discuss your business proposal over dinner on the second day instead? And you can tell me then about the parts of the programme I missed. Or else, I could get my secretary to tell the centre we'll need to hire one of their meeting rooms.
20 Thanks for your letter asking me to attend this year's conference, and to give a talk again. I'd already made other arrangements for that week, but I've managed to cancel them. I see it's going to be at the same place, so there's no need to send a map. I shall be driving to the venue and am intending to arrive in time for the pre-conference dinner, so yes please, do book me accommodation for that night.
21 I've got an early morning meeting at the airport. I'm not sure exactly what time it'll finish, but could you let me know the different options for getting from there to the centre, so that I can arrive in time to deliver my talk. According to the schedule you sent, I'm down as the first presenter. Also, I don't know this particular venue at all, so if someone could meet me at the entrance, that would be most helpful.
22 I filled out the accommodation request form in the pre-conference information pack, but I hope it's not too late to change my mind. I only sent it in last week. The thing is, I've now got an urgent appointment at the office, so I'll have to leave early. I've tried moving the meeting to another day, but that just isn't possible. It's a shame, because this is the first time I've been able to come.
