Balisage 2022 is over, and I had a great time.

I’ve said it before (I think) but the real power of Balisage is that it invigorates me because it reminds me of what I love about my chosen field.

Most years, following the closing of the conference I go back to work, straight away. Yup. Could be a particularly tricky problem, or maybe an alternative to something I have been pondering, but most years it’s just been sheer inspiration. I like what I do, and I like talking to, and listening to, people in my field. They provide inspiration, and they make me want to do more.

It’s a wonderful thing when a conference can remind me of all this, and it’s what Balisage does.
