HDLive09 videos starting tomorrow
I’m pleased to say that I’m starting to post the speaker videos from last year’s conference tomorrow over at Hull Digital.
From Rory Cellan-Jones, to Rob Palmer and Jaan Orvet, there will be 9 top videos going up over the week. Please do let your friends and colleagues know, there are some superb talks and loads to learn!
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!!
Hull Digital Live – meeting Rory Cellan-Jones
I was in London for a couple of days last week, and managed to coordinate a meeting with one of our speakers for the Hull Digital Live conference happening on October 14th.
So, a quick trip on the tube from Chiswick to Ealing Broadway, led to meeting with Rory Cellan-Jones, the BBC’s Technology Correspondent. Rory and I have been in touch for a while now, tweeting, emailing, phonecalls, and we were going to meet last year at FOWA, but Mark Zuckerburg took precedence. (I know, the cheek of it).
It was great to finally meet in person and we spent a very enjoyable hour or so talking about Apple, iPhones, Spinvox, mobile apps, broadband and of course, what he is going to be speaking about at Hull Digital Live!
