On the positive side:
- Loved Birmingham. What a fantastic city that is both modern and packed with heritage!
- Lots of interesting stalls!
- Some of the best fringe meetings I have been to!
- Got to sit on the stage during the Leader’s speech!
- Managed to get a hotel that was a couple of minutes walk from the ICC!
On the less positive side:
- A lack of capacity in the main hall and many of the rooms being used for fringe meetings;
- Only wine, juice or water was server during the London Reception evening. I am a beer drinker and do wish these events would remember minorities in this case
Very much looking forward to Manchester next year.
