Home from #tnc25

#TNC25 is over (well, side meetings tomorrow, but over for me and most people) and what a week it was. It was my 3rd year on the Programme Committee and I'm so proud of the work I got to do with a host of amazing folks. Yay for a community of trust and mutual respect in this turbulent world!

The socials are popping up photos I took at prior TNCs. Berry jam on bread in Trondheim, smoked potato in foam in Prague, shellfish in Catania, grilled meats in Tirana. I swear I do do something other than eat at conferences. No photos of fish and chips tho from Brighton. Too great a danger of seagull thievery. #TNC25

:coffee_swirl:

Just around the corner of #BrightonDome there's the #TriplePointCoffee café.

#Coffee #FlatWhite
#TNC25 #LatteArt #Coffee

A collage of three photos each showing a flat white coffee in a cyan colored cup and saucer with a teaspoon. The flat whites show latte art of hearts and a swan.

Tonight at #TNC25 following the excellent conference dinner on Brighton Pier: KARAOKE.

Amongst the many bangers: Pink Pony Club, Still Into You, Style, Raise a Glass, and many more.

And #tnc25 lightning talk is done. Can relax now!

Colourful rock packaged with a label reading "perf2ONAR years." The candy has pink, yellow, teal, and blue stripes, resting on a wooden bench.

Great to hear @dcrooks open the EDI meeting at #TNC25 by stating that Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men and Trans Rights are Human Rights. Enthusiastic agreement from the room.

Only water between here and home….
Well done @geant 🤩 so far. Come on Brighton #tnc25 keep going!!!

Moon over the calm waters of the British Channel. At the horizon one can see some red lights of an off shore wind park.

I have found the actually mostly flat route between my hotel and the #TNC25 venue. Sadly not a route GMaps would have suggested, but clearly the best way to go.

My wander back to my hotel while at #tnc25 was very pretty along #Brighton seafront

Inspiring TNC plenary at the Brighton Dome this morning. Challenge your point of view. 6 women on stage out of 8 people. Some reasons I love my job.

A live music performance on stage with a band featuring a singer and musicians playing keyboard and guitar. The backdrop displays the text "GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY" along with visual effects and lighting. An audience is seated in the foreground, watching the performance.

A live performance scene featuring three musicians on stage. One plays an electric guitar, another is on a keyboard, and the third is singing. Colorful lights illuminate the stage with a backdrop displaying the text "FAST & FURIOUS: RESEARCH EDITION”

Jess Auerbach Jahajeeah, a woman with long hair and glasses, is wearing a long bright and colourful dress, stands at a podium, speaking at a conference. A large screen behind her displays her name, affiliation with the University of Cape Town, and the title of her presentation: "Networks and Knowledge Futures: the architecture of imagination”

The image shows a presentation slide, out of Jess keynote, featuring a dark silhouette of a map, the Atlantic Ocean, south on top, north at bottom, Africa on the left, South America on the right. The text on the slide reads: "Two notes: on perspective and on language majority and minority worlds."

Absolutely loved the opening keynote of #tnc25 from Jess Auerbach (https://jahaj.net.za). The human faces that build the internet, and the exploitative nature of how it is used.

The grand opening of #TNC25.

Brighter together in Brighton. Right Time. Right Space. Right People. #tnc25

Band on Stage at Brighton Dome at opening plenary.

And the odd experience of finding a random restaurant to be sat next to two people excitedly discussing #eduroam and trans-Atlantic network connectivity … has to be #tnc #tnc25

#TNC25 has begun, with side meetings kicking off at 0900. This morning has been some very interesting presentations & conversations about security compliance & governance, and meeting both old friends and new lovely people!

Some excellent trolling in the compliance session at #tnc25
