2023-24 was such a busy year with so many great opportunities and so many great people to meet and share thoughts and ideas with. From the outset and attendance at the ISMG Cyber Security Summit then presenting on AI at the VWV conference, it always looked like it was going to be a packed academic year but little did I know quite how packed it was going to be. Little was I to know that the year would see me speaking in Amsterdam, Venice, Birmingham, London, Cardiff, Bristol, Leeds and a fair few other locations, and never mind the locations, it was the brilliant people that I had the pleasure to meet up with and talk all things technology and education with along the way that made it so very worthwhile. The academic year also saw me become vice chair for the ISC Digital Advisory Group and become one of the founding members of the amazing Digital Futures Group (DFG).

This collage of some of the photos is just the tip of the iceberg which was 2023-24 including some amazing memories from BETT, the Schools and Academies Show, The Edufuturists Uprising, EdTech Europe and also an attempted murder at FutureShots in Venice. I can only hope that 2024-25 sees similar opportunities arise and further chances to share and collaborate with such great people, albeit hopefully without the attempted murder!
