Northern Tech Assembly, keynote day

Conference work is live music with worse lighting and better manners. The rules are the same: know the running order, be in position before the moment, and never be the thing people look at. I work the keynote from the aisle and the panels from the wings.

The comms team published as the day ran, so I filed four batches: keynote by eleven, the morning panels by one, the afternoon by four, and the drinks reception before I left. Ninety-six frames, all of them cleared with the speakers' team.
