Having just returned from an exceptional and nourishing conference with our Italian counterparts, I’ve felt a bit inspired about capturing reviews in a different way. To get you into the frame of mind for reflecting on the experience and hopefully to help us to capture your thoughts on the event, I’ve cobbled together some short recordings I took on my phone and edited them into a mini movie. I hope you enjoy!

The talks were recorded and there will be printed proceedings. So what are we looking for from those of you who attended? Well, whilst it is still fresh in mind and before annual leave roles round and students return after the Summer, it would be great to hear from you about one or more of the following, for inclusion in this online newsletter:
- Your key ‘takeaways’ from the event – one or two things that really resonated with you that you would like to implement or be inspired by in your own workplace
- Your favourite talk, tour, networking event or other activity at the conference – what was it and why did you enjoy it so much? Who did you meet and/or hear from and what impact did they have?
- A short review (150-200 words max) of a particular session in the programme – perhaps focusing on what was impactful, engaging, good or bad, rather than trying to summarise the whole thing
- Comment on posts as they appear – including this one!
- Add your photos to the Arclib flickr account
If you have accepted an invitation to write for the newsletter, you can log into WordPress to do so, otherwise you are very welcome to directly email your words and pictures, ideas or questions to me: d.stacey@bath.ac.uk
Thanks again to the committee for organising such a memorable conference. Hopefully no one minds, but below I include some immediate post-conference comments from the WhatsApp group, albeit anonymised just in case!
- “Thanks all… I thought the programme, location and planning were all excellent.”
- “Thank you for a spectacular conference with brilliant speakers, location, programme, visits… I was privileged to be there.”
- “The committee did a terrific job to organise from a distance”
- “I want to echo the accolades for Carla, Richenda, Elaine and Greta. Favolosa.”
