I’ve noticed that the last couple of years have been much more laid back affairs, or at least a little bit less uptight. It’s a good group of people who gather in Birmingham to share ideas and thoughts and their enthusiasm never fails to give me a lift. Still…going back to the Boxing Day analogy…I need a few days to digest everything.

So…video. This year I’ve been introduced to the Flip Camcorder

A wonderfully inexpensive piece of kit that fits in your pocket and makes the job of capturing video a breeze. No memory cards, no forest of controls and menus; just switch on,  shoot and upload (using the built-in USB connector). I got to use the flip to capture session feedback (which I have to sort yet) and, even more fun, a short and lighthearted movie capturing the essence of this year’s conference.

So thanks to all those attending the conference for being so approachable and special thanks to Nic Whitton, my co-director on the evening

Now I have to get the CETIS communications people to sort it out so I can embed the videos in this blog….but in the meantime, enjoy!
