Yes I know I’m way behind, but in all fairness I was traveling then dealing with jetlag, I had no idea it would be so bad.  The presentation went great! I’m always surprised at how recharged I get when doing these.   We really had a great crowd both times and some great questions and discussion within the group.  It was so great to meet everyone and I do hope everyone keeps in touch.  Several people talked about implementing LL2.0 at their libraries and I can’t wait to see them.  I really enjoyed the overall set up of the conference.  I know I said it before but I’ll say it again because I liked the idea so much.  Provide meals!  Lunch and dinner were provided and this was  such a great opportunity to meet new people! So much better than trying to find someone to eat with.  Of course if you wanted to go off with a smaller group you certainly could.  Jim Griffin gave the closing, while time has made it a bit hazy, I know I was impressed with it.  My notes say: relationships that never end marketing long term – women do it better (he said it not

UKSG pt 1

I’ve arrived in Torquay, and it’s only day one of the conference but I’ve already seen a couple of things that are different from the US conferences I’ve attended that I’m impressed with, I’d love to see this practice at more conferences. Included with the conference each day are a lunch and dinner. It’s a great opportunity to meet and talk with other people, which is one of the best parts of going to conferences. You can sit with someone different at every meal, hear different perspectives and exchange ideas with out the hassle of trying to meet people in your classes to meet up with later (especially nice if you’ve traveled alone and/or you don’t know loads of people), find a place with decent food and worry about how you’ll split the bill. Even better, the food is fabulous and wine is provided with dinner! On a side note, it snowed the first 2 days here!
