It was a triumphant return to the John McIntyre Conference Centre for the UKHMA conference. The location, at the foot of Arthurs Seat, is absolutely glorious, and the sun even made an appearance for the two days.
The UKHMA events are, for me at least, the best way to start conference season.
The UK Harbour Master community is such a tightly knit one, always friendly and welcoming, as is the regular group of exhibitors. It's a great opportunity to catch up on what's been happening in the UK industry over the winter months.
One of the most challenging aspects of the conference is securing an exhibition space. It's literally harder to get a stand there than it is to get Taylor Swift tickets... so once again, it was delegate capacity for me.
With a bit of luck, fortune will favour One Digital Nation with an exhibition space at the Autumn Conference. In the meantime, I'm preparing for Greentech in Barcelona, a trip to TOC Europe in June, and then my first time exhibiting at Port Technology International's Smart Digital Ports of the Future in Rotterdam this September.
