Magnetic Metaphors and Creative Conversations
Thanks for a fantastic conference! This page will be updated with links to photographs and other resources from the event. 
Next Conference: 12 and 13 September 2009
Clean Conference was like what?
We asked participants to answer this question as part of a competition. The winners were:
Kathryn Merrick: "It was like flying into beautiful and previously undiscovered lands of possibility."
Jane Turner: "Like a bubbly fountain illuminted with multi-colored lights changing at both regular and random intervals, adding to its charm. Because of the regularity and the randomness of the illumination, one never knew exactly what to expect while remaining secure in the knowledge that the experience of it would be well worth having."
Angela Steed: "Mmmm, it was like a sunny sparkly lake for me with glinty, gleamy faces to enjoy and depths to dip into!"
The three winners will each receive a pack of Clean Change Cards.
