I have been in Chicago for the last three days attending the annual Workday conference, which they call Rising. It was exciting and today I will be flying back and looking forward to another exciting event – the Inauguration of Dr Paula Johnson, the College’s 14th president. Paula has already brought so much energy, optimism and enthusiasm to the College and I am really looking forward to the new beginning.
It has been a while since I have gone to a vendor sponsored conference like the Rising. There were something like 7000 attendees. There was the usual entertainment, receptions, too much food and keynotes. But I attended some really useful presentations that were well done. You can see my tweets here.
