It’s quite a few weeks now since we had our Colour Conference in Leeds. It was so interesting and such a lot of fun. I know a few people who say things like, there is no point going to conferences these days. Covid showed us that you can give your presentation using Zoom or Teams. What is the point of wasting all of that money on physically going to a conference? Never mind, the environmental effect.

Well, I couldn’t disagree more. Perhaps in the future virtual reality will enable us to have remote conferences that provide brilliant networking experiences and mean that we don’t have to travel. I think it’s possible. But we are not there yet. In my opinion, the actual presentations at a conference are the least interesting things about a conference. I don’t go to a conference to listen to the talks. I go there to meet people.

The four photos from our conference that I have posted here sum up the brilliant conversations that happened. You simply cannot replicate this online with current technology in my opinion. As the Stereophonics so aptly put it – ‘maybe tomorrow.’

By the way, you can see all of the official photos from our event here.
