EEUK returns this year to Manchester on the 16 – 17 May 2013 for another gathering of ExpressionEngine designers, developers and evangelists.

This year Ian Ebden ([DesignKarma](http://designkarma.co.uk/ "DesignKarma")) has teamed up with Joel Bradbury ([SquareBit](http://www.squarebit.co.uk/ "SquareBit")) for the organization of the 2 day EEUK.13 event. This is now the only ExpressionEngine conference of its kind outside of the US. It’s an excellent opportunity to meet like minded individuals and share a drink and some good ExpressionEngine related conversation.

**Day one** is workshop day, with tutor [Lodewijk Schutte](http://gotolow.com/ "Lodewijk Schutte") (aka ​“Low”). Learn the ins-and-outs of ExpressionEngine add-on development from the master.

**Day two** is conference day at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, England. I am delighted to have been invited to speak again this year along with some other old and new faces. Speakers include [Ben Croker](http://putyourlightson.net/ "Ben Croker"), [Andy Marshall](http://moogaloo.com/ "Andy Marshall"), [Tim Mahoney](http://www.eevolution.co.uk/ "Tim Mahoney"), [Chris Mills](http://dev.opera.com/ "Chris Mills"), [Carl Crawley](http://madebyhippo.com/ "Carl Crawley"), [Christopher Imrie](http://www.christopherimrie.com/ "Christopher Imrie") and myself John Henry Donovan. There’ll be something for everyone, from beginner to expert.

Below is the outline of my intended talk

## Bending the EE Control Panel

*Often we have an opportunity to spend more time customizing the client’s ExpressionEngine control panel experience. I will walk you through examples on how to make the largely underused ExpressionEngine Dashboard a useful stop for your clients, using available addons and creating custom widgets for others. I will also walk through case studies on various other customizations created specifically for clients in the control panel.*
