Cool, Marianne’s attending. She once bribed a group of convention goers to be an audience for a speech she gave – by passing out chocolate! Smart lady, funny too.
Very well written piece by you. Also great to see you have all these contacts in your writing network.
Thanks for the feedback, Jan. I am looking forward to meeting Marianne, amongst very many others while over there. Although the Gail Corriger dress code piece did make me grin—and race to check my war-drobe! 🙂
Awesome post, Helen. It’s rather awesome that we have the world coming down under this year. I can’t wait for your report of events afterward!
Thanks, Wen, although I hope to be blogging from Melbourne as well!
Oh, even better. On the spot updates!
I’ll certainly see what I can do.
