Thanks guys, that’s much appreciated. Well done to all the nominees and winners, too! There was a lot of great work this year.
Also, congrats to Jason Chatfield, who is the new ACA President!
It was also great to have three visiting guests from the States – Stan Goldberg, Michael Jantze and Jason Seiler. They contributed to a great series of presentations, as well as being good company.
