I attended my first Naace Strategic Conference on Tuesday in Blackpool. Unfortunately, I could only attend the first day but I enjoyed the event nevertheless.
It was great to finally meet Tony Sheppard (who, as always, furnished me with some good advice) and I’m sure that I spotted a few other Twitter followers in the crowd; I just wish I’d had more time to say hello.
I sat next to Dan Buckley, Research and Development Director for Cambridge Education, during the keynote sessions. Thank you Dan for the engaging conversation and for providing an insight into how things should be done.
I thought the live Twitter stream was a great idea that seemed to work really well.
Please find below a Flickr stream of some of the photographs I took on day 1.
