IWMW: Collating

“ One advantage of remote attendance is that key lessons learned are not diluted by travel home. You are right there in your seat of power ready to implement changes. However getting uninterrupted time is very difficult. Perhaps you could set up regional hubs and connect nodes together .”
“ Personally after 5 yrs or so in HE I have conference burnout, so remote suits me well.”
Supporting both set of attendees – remote and physical
IWMW: Challenges
