BMU 11: setting up

Thank you to http://emmawilsher.co.uk/

My BMU11 highlights: Part four - my support team

A definite highlight for me was my small but very effective support team!


My little team consisted of:


Chris from ISSSLtd - Chris was a star leading up to the event, developing the website etc. and on the day he was on hand to help set up, help exhibitors unload and re-load their cars, deal with any technical issues people had on the day, help speakers get set up and so on. Most of all he was and continues to be the person I bounce ideas off, off-load on and the one who keeps me sane  and supported!


Chrissie - As some of your know, Chrissie and I have known each other a very long time (22 years to be exact) we went to school together. Chrissie is a hard worker and always willing to lend a hand. She is one of the few people I know I can trust and depend upon. She took the day off work just to come and help out - and what a great job she did!


Rita - (Chris' Mum) - Came to help set up and assist with registration. She was a star on the day and expertly dealt with latecomers and the staff at the venue.


A special mention also has to go to Sally from The Mother Factor who arrived early to help get set up. She was a wonderful support to me on the day. She stayed behind at the end to pack away as well - there aren't many people like Sally!

That's all folks ...

So that's it ... BMU 11 is officially over ... can't quite believe it really - was all over in a flash and feels very surreal. I have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback, thank you all very much.


Thank you to everyone who made a contribution to the conference, by speaking, delivering a workshop, as a sponsor, blogger, exhibitor or just through taking part. I am only sorry there was not time for me to chat to all of you.


I'm being asked abut BMU 12 already and have had people offer to run workshops etc - thank you to everyone for that!


I have to say that if you had asked me a week ago if there would be a BMU 12 I would have said NO WAY (maybe with a swear word inserted somewhere). The problem with events like this is that people let you down, and down and down again. I am the sort of person that likes to trust and believe that people will do what they promise but sadly there are very few that do. 


I have learnt a lot in this process ... about me and about others.


I have learnt that in the huge ocean of people who are out for themselves, do not have any problem letting others down or taking advantage there are a few absolute treasures! These are the people I want to surround myself with and I live in hope that there are more out there.... I know there are, as I met lots yesterday!


So will there be a BMU 12 ??????? - well Georgi from Starfish Accounting (who is one of those treasures by the way) has already been using #BMU12 on twitter!


For now ... let's say hopefully!


Thank you everyone x
