Possibly that's what my ear is listening out for! But, a lot of going to these things is filtering to get to the heart of what will get you thinking and moving forwards. Making connections between ideas and having that moment of pause which is so important.
Anyway, off for a mull (and a sleep!). These things sure are tiring!
* I play a game with myself when I go to events - listen out for the jargon / buzzword / phrase of the moment and play bingo with it. The main culprit at this conference was 'doing more with less' - which is a nonsense statement. Less what? Enthusiasm? Interest? Joy? Engagement? Of course not. Tarting up 'budgets have been cut and you have to deal with it' is fine... but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that we're still in this to improve and expand the learning opportunities of others (and ourselves). Rant... out. :o)
