SSDA Annual Conference, Dumfries - March 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Easterbrook Hall, Dumfries, for the SSDA Annual conference and launch of the responsible tourism strategy for the South of Scotland. Energising presentations and a real buzz of excitement in the room full of around 200 delegates from the sector. 

 

The challenge for me was the wall space! Continuous wood panelling, not a flat wall in sight and no display boards either… 

 

Flexiboards (and Posca pens) offered a great solution and worked really well for the client. They plan to continue to use the panels I created over the coming months, as they take the strategy forward in local and community meetings. The boards I used are A0 size so they can be digitally flatbed scanned. 

 

As each board was finished, I found a way to display it in the room. I had to work at a table (not great for the back and by the end of the day I decided to work on the floor) but delegates were constantly coming to see what I was doing, add things, discuss things and take pictures.
