Eggciting approach to workshop

by Debbie

Like many business professionals I've attended numerous conferences, workshops and seminars -  and as we all know - some are very much better than others. This week I was a guest of the Housing e-Academy at its e-Enabling Tenant Engagement Conference in Leeds.

I attended two workshops, the first was from Creative North who introduced delegates to a very clever use of mobile phone technology. The second was managed by the host organisation and reminded us about the wealth of social media opportunities available for communicating with core audiences.

A highlight of the venue in Leeds was that both my workshops were held in a very plush private cinema which certainly beats sitting around a conference table! And I think I can speak for all delegates when I say we loved the 'eggs' provided by the presenter which allowed for a unique interactive audience experience.? Think how the audience participates in 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?' and you should get the picture.

It's always good to get out and about and keep up with the latest innovations and technologies - and of course it's a great networking opportunity. I was able to meet delegates from my current client portfolio and I bumped into people I had worked with in the past. I met new people too - those working in the social housing sector and many politically active (with a small 'p') tenants and residents.
