Strategic Priorities and Managing Risk Conference

The big day!
After 3 months of planning and publicising, 85 (who according to their feedback sheets were very happy) delegates attended what will now be an annual HE/FE conference organised in association with EIAT Consultancy.
Keynotes were delivered by John Widdowson: Principal and Chief Executive, New Durham College & Chair of the MEG Group, David Jenkins: Director of Educational Partnerships, Staffordshire University, Executive for Associate for Collaborative Provision, and Charlie Woodcock: Executive Director Business & Community Development, Chester University, and I ran two workshops on "Scholarly Activity and Applying for Third-Party Funding to Support it" with Madeleine King.
Not only will the conference pay for two weeks somewhere equatorial in the new year, but 4 colleges offered me staff development work in February/March and one of the delegates asked if I could help her put together a Scholarly Activity conference next Summer.
