Tweetilicious

Good day in Harlech today.  Nice to see the theatre so full of folk interested in the seminar - Creative Technologies within the Welsh Environment.
Some nice presentations, particularly from Rhys Jones & Tom Beverley from Acknack Ltd with their cool collaboration ap, PageSend, Chris Headleand on Social Media and Martin Owen from Inventorium, a group who help turn innovative digital ideas into sustainable businesses in North Wales.



Thought provoking stuff from Ian McNeill's presentation

How green is your device?  Environmental issues tackled by Rebecca Colley-Jones

 Us CT students got on with our designated jobs and it was great to be part of the crew running the day.  Shaun did a fab job of the lighting, Catherine was Sound Technician, Laura was in charge of Audio Visual - one of the more challenging roles involving changing the slides for the huge projection screen

Last minute chat with Stage Manager Aaron


 Aaron was a super-efficient Stage Manager, Owain filmed the presentations, Phil did still photography and I was approving any tweets which came in so they could be projected onto a live tweet board.  Not many did come in, mainly from Ian McNeil, so filled the gaps with my own.


Meanwhile, out in the theatre foyer art tutor Miranda had a gathered a group of artists and photographers who were creating a live collage of proceedings.  By the end of the day they had made a wall-sized piece of art using the photos printed in black and white and glued in an arrangement which represented the day's events.

The day was rounded off (after a yummy finger buffet lunch) with workshops from the  Inventorium Crew.  An afternoon of thinking up business ideas and how to utilse the creative technologies we'd been learning about all morning. 

Time afterwards to help with the get out before I got out myself and went wearily home.
