A sense of relief and accomplishment

Hull Digital was launched over Christmas last year. A website and the MeetUp group. We had the very first meeting on the 31st January at Cafe Nero in the centre of Hull.
I was expecting a few people. 25 turned up 
Since then we’ve had 6 more MeetUps, with 45+ people coming along for the last few events which was just so encouraging.
It had always been on my mind that East Yorkshire and the city of Hull was crying out for a digital conference. An event where some great speakers would talk, where people would be inspired and learn, get a chance to network and above all, not have to travel a long way to attend a conference and get great value.
Last Wednesday, over 200 people came along to Hull Digital Live 09 and we had the BEST day! The feedback has been overwhelmingly brilliant, and has completely blown me away. It has made 4 months hard work worth every minute of worry, stress, planning and organisation.
I’m going to write up the day properly over on Hull Digital, so do look out for a post there. I will extend a huge thanks here as well, to the speakers, the partners, sponsors, helpers, believers, the AV team, KC Stadium and everybody who made it happen. Also a massive thanks to Kate for supporting so amazingly through the last few months. Thanks sweetie
A few pics are starting to appear in the flickr pool here.
So, 2 last things. I should have a little more time to blog in the coming weeks, as it is something I enjoy. And the last thing?
Looks like Hull Digital Live 2010 is going to happen, so watch this space!!
