It seems interesting but £510 is a lot for 2 days of currently unknown content.

Also absolutely no mention of who is involved in setting this up.

Digging around in OP's submissions, it looks to be Vitis Events [0].

Their COVID-19 policy page mentions that this is being run by Vitis Events, https://www.vitisevents.com/.

They're running three events at The Brewery that week: PHP UK, Rust Nation UK, and GopherCon UK.

Are those good conferences?

It's sounds pretty standard in it's exorbitance to me.

The tickets that aren't gifted tend to be paid by corporations using up their training budgets, and well-heeled consultant networkers rather than individual coders I suspect.

I have no idea, but it looks like they've been in the event space for a while so I would expect the logistics side, at a minimum, to work well. Running several events concurrently also lets them benefit from shared infrastructure and expertise instead of being a purely one-off thing. I'd probably consider it once the speakers are announced.
