    sounds great - that first experience of a true backchannel is awesome - you will be boarded in any other meeting you attend from now on that doesn't have it!

    Yeah, it was good to get an idea what to expect next time!
    I was wandering around with my head up my arse so probably didn't take as much as I could from it - but then again, it was a good for first timers because I reckon by the end everyone was on the same page at least!
    I WILL get more involved with video, I promise! ;-)
