Resident Involvement Champions National Conference - November 2, 2010

We recently exhibited and took part in the Resident Involvement Champions National Conference on November 2, held at Villa Park in Birmingham.

The theme of the conference was "Resident Involvement In Challenging Times" and more than 150 delegates took part in a range of interactive exercises and sharing of knowledge supported by keynote speakers.

All presentations and the output from various sessions will be uploaded to the RIC website so it's well worth a look.

The day was very successful and we were particularly pleased that our special prize was grabbed by one delegate. To prove the advantages of enagegement, we tweeted a secret password and Paul Cole from Derby Homes was the first to get to our stand to grab the chocs. Paul was one of the keynote speakers leading a session on social marketing and was able to say with some authority that the results of utilising social marketing techniques is free food!

Something that really grabbed our attention was how some of the ideas and themes being discussed at the conference were translated by Graham Ogilvie into cartoons. What a great idea to bring a conference to life - all the cartoons were displayed and during lunch participants had the opportunity to vote for their favourites.
