#ATEM-SSCC-09 Conference wrap-up and farewell!
Posted by lisacluett on April 24, 2009
By this stage my internet key had stopped cooperating, my mobile phone was dead, my camera batteries had run out and I was feeling pretty similar myself. The conference wrap-up was kicked off by Paul Van Veenendaal who awarded the ‘Mystery Shopping’ prize (an exercise in testing out the customer service of participating universities) to the University of Western Sydney. As they weren’t in the room we all gave a big cheer to ACU who came second (missed out by 1 point!).
Jon Stubbs then thanked the conference organising team and had to drag Dinnah to the stage to accept her stunning bunch of flowers. The 2010 conference is up for grabs but I didn’t have time to linger for much longer. It had been an intense couple of days with giving 2 presentations and a managing a couple of days of liveblogging. Thanks to everyone who was so supportive and to those who came up and introduced themselves – good to see people are interested and I’m happy for people to contact me about training professional staff in using Web 2.0 (including animated characters) – that means you Graham! I’ve written a few notes on the process of liveblogging which I’ll post soon enough but for now I have to get home to my 13 month old son Henry who will get to see me all long weekend. Happy ANZAC day everyone and safe travels to those heading back home.
