Scott and I, along with a few colleagues, attended Think Visibility at the Alea Casino in Leeds. For anyone who wasn’t able to attend this past weekend, I’ve compiled a small collection of useful links and resources so everyone can catch up on Saturday’s conference.
This may also be useful for those of us that did attend, but subsequently killed off all of their brain cells by drowning them in copious amounts of alcohol.

Both Steven and Martin took some excellent pictures (the back of my head features in at least a dozen) so it’s been hard to pick a single winner, so hard in fact that I couldn’t decide between my top 2. Here they are:

Thanks go to Dom Hodgson and the rest of the Think Visibility team for a fantastic conference and the best weekend I’m ever likely to have in Leeds. There will be more ThinkVis stuff making its way onto the interwebs and I’m bound to have forgotten something so if I’ve missed you out and you would like to be included in the list, send me a link on twitter.
Hope to see you all at the next conference in March!

Hi Scott
Good write up – plenty of links to resources to check out…
I went to Think Visibility myself and I was hoping to meet you – it’s always good to catch up with fellow internet types from Scotland…….. nevermind, another time perhaps.
