Overall I must say that I found this to be one of the best Build's yet.

My only regret is that I didn't have as …

Onto Day 2 and the second keynote. Once again us marvellous students were given our special seating to the front of the keynote. Having started the conference with a flying start the day before, Day 2's keynote had big shoes to fill in terms of everything. And boy did they provide. Not far in and what were we gifted? …
