Foyer space good, flexible.
Great having rooms close together – allowed people to move freely between groups.
Upper Common room too far away and too hard to find.
Coffee/tea periods didn’t always correspond with natural breaks in the process.
Need to allow enough time for people to pause between timeslots.
Groups were too big in some cases – agenda process needs to break group topics down more tightly to promote smaller, more focused groups.
Feedback process still not working all that well – get people to take e-notes?
Agenda setting space worked OK, but could do with a little more room. Use the board during Monday, opening session and morning coffee break to get people to start posting ideas. Make people move around to give people at the back a chance to contribute? Give people a little more time? Or use a tech solution? – more static, but everyone would be able to see.
‘Fluid’ agenda seemed to work OK, but the Greenpeace action knocked out quite a lot of the last afternoon’s time.
Too much sitting down the first morning.
I really enjoyed the event. As always it was great to share stories / expertise / problems with other colleagues.
To actually take part in a campaign while at ECF was great, as were the snapshot presentations on the second day (Greenpeace, Chatroulette, Mydavidcameron etc)
The biggest disappointment for me was the speakers, I didn’t think they came close to previous years. While they probably offered some helpful advice to those that were new to ecampaigning, there was very little that was ‘new’. Last year’s speakers, while they didn’t necessarily offer directly transferable skills, offered completely new perspectives on ecampaigning, mainly because they were different contexts. Appreciate these are hard to come by – but some more diversity would be great in future years
But all in all – a great conference – thanks to everyone involved in organising
