Fusion Conference - Rising From Recession 17th November 2011 Afternoon Sessions

After a lovely lunch we headed back into the Macleod room to hear Peter Crome of the Carnegie Club at Skibo Castle talk. Peter started off talking about his early career as a potato peeler and how his career nearly ended over a mix up with a desert fork. He gave some incredible insight into his career and some of the lessons he has learned along the way. There was much note taking as well tried to keep up with some of the tips and the book recommendations he gave us during this informative session.


Breakout sessions followed Peter and we dispersed throughout the Kingsmills to take part in those we had signed up to.
The "What I Wish I Had Known" Session  


The "How Do I Start Marketing" Session
 The Fusion AGM was well attended with members getting an update on the financial status of Fusion as well as the plans to develop in the future, how we intend to fund our activities and our plans for events for 2012 including the conference. After that it was a quick change and back down to the bar for a pre-dinner drinks reception. Dinner was in the Macleod room. The Fusion Innovation award was presented to KP Technology and there was much joviality during Craig Anderson's after dinner speech which included a great anecdote about politicians, dogs and lamp-posts amongst other things!
