Thank you for posting this. Sometimes Australia seems so far away... I hate missing all these great conferences.

I really wish I could have caught up with everyone again. But I got lost in the mass of people. I did enjoy our little get together. I wish we had more time to talk.

Thanks for taking the time to provide such detailed accounts. I could not attend because I'm busy with the launch of my pirate book - but hope to meet you all in London next year!

Thank you for posting the links. I've been reading through the posts and enjoying the experience all over again. I have a feeling I'm going to have the post-HNS11 glow for quite some time :-)

Thanks for the recap! I would have liked to be there - reading about some of the highlights is the next best thing.
