Late morning this morning, (Not too late home) 6am start so had a little lie in lol.
Sorry if I didn't say goodbye to a few of you, but you were all in deep conversation with someone when I was leaving and didn't want to disturb you.
The Seven conference yesterday and think I can sum it up in one word really,
WOW!
I expected a lot of snooty posh people, and got totally the opposite - I met a range of people I would never have dreamed of meeting, and everyone one of them was a down to earth person with so much characher, and vision.
I'd like to thank Hazel and Will for keeping us on track and managing to get photo shoots and more video's done through the dinner break, but also for putting the day at ease as this was my first conference of this type but won't be my last. The day was very productive, not just in the speakers with the success stories, but also in their failures.
The whole day was nonstop, the evening was good and light hearted, the food was fantastic,
but I suppose the whole day, while being a business conference of sorts wasn't, it was more like a celebration for the North East to show how good and resilient we are.
It was great to meet all of the other finalists and share the stories, Sat with Amy at the dinner and don't think we mentioned business once, great girl and wish you all the best with your venture, when your up on stage getting your awards next year don't forget my invite!
All in all a fantastic day and really worth it, big thank you all involved
