It's taken me a while to 'come down' after yesterday's conference. We started the day with a sinking feeling as news came in of people who'd been on the road since 6.30 and were still stuck in driving rain 3 hours later, but once things were under way it felt as though the sun had come out.
The change in format, 3 quick presentations, a long discussion and then parallel workshops, seemed to work very well as the pace varied and we were kept moving around both mentally and physically.
Slide shows are never as good as hearing real people speak but the morning presentations are now available on Skillfair for those who couldn't make it - and anyone who wanted them as a reminder.

How did the Open Space go?
I thought it was very effective - Chris Pearse did an excellent job of setting it up and it was a very fluid discussion. We could probably have done with more time though - would have been nice to wander around a bit more joining different conversations.
What struck me most was the range and variety of topics that were proposed for discussion;
what is the outlook for public sector spending, who will gain and who will lose?
how to use Skillfair better?
how do pay grades & structures impact on company performance?
how can consultants use social marketing effectively?
how can Skillfair help consultants collaborate to win larger bids?
hobbies and interests
Actually there was one more but it escapes me for now!
