It was a huge day at #AFFHO Congress today so I wasn't too upset when one of the people I had planned to have dinner with suggested we shelve our plans. I was rather exhausted after a big day of learning and socialising so was pleased to share a nice dinner for two with Mr GeniAus who I have bee ignoring all day (and will be for the next three).
It's 9:00pm and I still need to modify a presentation for Speakers' Corner tomorrow morning.
As is my custom at these events my blog posts consist of lots of photos and little text because I just don't have time or the energy to write long essays.
I retired my camera after David's session. The last talk I attended was a humorous "Dead Horse" talk by Colleen Fitzpatrick. While it was a great talk I was kicking myself as I realise I had heard Colleen present this same talk at another time and I should have read the description more closely and chosen something else.
I must commend Kerry Farmer's excellent talk on DNA. I was the third time I have heard Kerrie present on this topic and I could listen again and again. Kerrie is a profession, polished and knowledgeable speaker.
Because I am an inquisitive old bird I went to The Menzies Theatre to observe the Annual General Meeting of #AFFHO. There were no surprises there.
I do, however, want to congratulate retiring #AFFHO President and Conference Convenor, Kerrie Gray on a very successful term. She has done a superb job.

Yes indeed Jill, it was a huge day and with a talk tomorrow I haven't even blogged.
ReplyDeleteI second your thanks to Kerrie and all her HAGSOC team for their hard work for Congress - it's a lot of work to put together a conference like this!
I am really sorry to have missed this conference...especially seeing you got to hear Josh Taylor speak! I heard him in Parramatta a few years ago and could listen to him for hours....and now I know what evernote is....I would love to pick his brain! LOL :)
