PANSIG people 2011, a set on Flickr.
About 250 teachers from all over the country (and some from further afield) made a pilgrimmage to Matsumoto last weekend (May 21-2) to attend the annual PANSIG Conference, hosted this year by Shinshu JALT. That is a remarkable turn out, made even more remarkable by the fact that the number of Japanese JHS & HS teachers attending could be counted on one hand.
It is obvious that everyone had a very positive experience in Matsumoto as well as at the conference. Of course! It's such a super setting!
The quality of the presentations was uniformly high (apart from mine, perhaps) and big audiences attended the Plenary sessions.
I was delighted to meet a lot of familiar faces, and to make some new friends & acquaintances. I did not get to see as many presentations as I wanted to, concentrating instead on some photography. I realised I need to improve my low light/flash skills.
For everyone involved in organising the event, it was a massive weekend and a great relief that everything seemed to go smoothly. Certainly everyone left looking as cheerful as they had arrived.
In all, a thoroughly rewarding and professional weekend.
