IEOS2014

How to judge it's success? The number of attendees? The degree of attendee engagement in the breaks? The amount of industry attendance? The amount of grey hairs for the organisers?

By any of those metrics (and especially the last) it was a success. We had a quick count in the first session and excluding the exhibitors in the lobby, NCG staff and also those people who were enjoying their coffee and danish pastries too much - we had around 130 people. Added to that the Friday-only attendees and I think we got to over 150.

Here's a poor quality panorama of the exhibitor space before the attendees started arriving



and here are a few more poor quality, blurry photos of inside the auditorium that would make any big-foot photographer proud.





They keynotes were great, the speakers were great, and after a bit of a time management SNAFU we got things back on track and ended on-time.
