A Successful CiviCamp!
A couple of weeks have passed and the dust has settled, and I am left with positive reminders of the day we had in Manchester at the first CiviCamp in the UK. If felt really useful and there was a positive atmosphere throughout the day. This is why I love the CiviCRM community so much – such a lovely bunch of people!
A quick peruse of Twitter reflects some of the positive remarks from the attendees…
A great start, with lots attending…

Also interesting to note the gender balance…
One of a few standout things about #CiviCamp & @civicrm events vs many tech events is balance – at rough count ~half of attendees are women.
