Just over a year ago in Perth, we invited you to a party at our place, and we feel as if that is exactly what #lca2015 has been.
You have Been Awesome guests, and it's been a great party.
We had fantastic feedback from our event venues. MOTAT told us that their volunteer enthusiasts who were staffing the exhibits really enjoyed the intelligent conversations that they had with you. The staff at Sweat Shop said that you were all extremely well behaved which was why they were happy to keep the bar open for as long as you wanted.
We couldn't have asked for more from our guests.
We had a great time, and now it's time to relax for a little while. The videos of the presentations and keynotes are now online, and we're uploading the slides as they come in.
