It's now Friday afternoon and I am catching a quick break. Yesterday was such a busy day as it was the IAADP conference. After the opening remarks it was my turn to speak as the keynote speaker. All went well, people laughed at my jokes and at the end I got a standing ovation, referring to the fact that the previous speaker had let them down, one of the sponsors commented that IAADP had definitely traded up when they got me as the keynote speaker :o)
The rest of the day was full of interesting seminars, and it was a pelasure to meet so many assistance dog partnerships, particularly those who I have had some previous contact with online.
I was truly touched by the number of people who were kind enough to come to me and compliement me on my keynote speech, thanks everyone, you made yesterday really special.
The day ended with a pizza party held by the Iaadp Board, and then we went to register for the ADI conference which started first thing this morning. I have attended seminars all day and am just resting before the banquet this evening. I have some exciting news, but need to wait to share it ;o)
