This year the LTSMG conference was held at the University of StrathClyde in Glasgow. The agenda was packed with professional AV and I.T learning sessions.
We always look forward to the LTSMG conference, it’s a great opportunity to catch up with the wider AV community – find out more about technical developments, explore some of the common challenges we are all facing and share our passion for ed tech.
Dancing shoes
This years conference brought a new twist, something that we weren’t expecting – but will definitely do again! Away from the professional development there was time to socialise over a meal followed by a traditional Scottish Keilidh.
If you know, you know just how much fun a Keilidh dance can be! Neither Adrian or Sharon had been to a Keilidh before and they weren’t so sure, but any apprehensions were soon put aside as everyone joined in, with lots of laughter and smiles as the local experts lead the novices around the room.
Supporting local charities
There was also the opportunity to support two local Glasgow charities with the raffle. We supplied prizes and got involved with the event, raising funds for Sense Scotland and Cahonas.
The University of Strathclyde
Having spent 3 days on campus, we came away very impressed. The University of StrathClyde campus is first class, the stunning exterior of the Technology and Innovation building with it’s sharp, pointy façade is unashamed, challenging, pushing forward for future generations. Built 5 years ago, it’s at the heart of the Glasgow City Innovation District, an area expected to create 700 new jobs and attract millions of pounds worth of investment into the area.
This building brings together ambitious, forward-thinking people to tackle the big questions affecting society at a global level. They are proud to be developing solutions that will drive inclusive, economic growth. The campus is surrounded by a wealth of innovative start-ups and supply companies, people who’ve located here to nurture and connect with the talent of the students and the start-up’s that they are creating.
If you get the opportunity to visit this site, take it and remember to check out a Keilidh dance whilst you’re there.
