Today is sort of the first day of the IPEd 2017 conference. Sort of but not quite. There are lots of things that have evolved into traditions over the years with this conference.

From all accounts they were wonderful – unfortunately I didn’t get to attend any this time around. But I needed that time. I had landed in Brisbane sans business cards. And so after brunch committments, I had to have a catch up meeting with fellow IPEd 2017 panelists…
