Pre-speech nerves

...are not apparent in this picture from yesterday's ABTA Convention in Tenerife.

Pictured with your correspondent are Jeremy Vine (BBC broadcaster and moderator of this year's ABTA Convention) and Mel Carson (my co-presenter and Microsoft AdCenter community manager).

The picture was taken during a rather tense 45 minutes when the power failed across the South East part of the island, including the bizarre Magma Arte & Congresos venue. [More official pictures of the venue]


All went well, apparently. A nearly full room. Open Thread discussion about our presentation to follow.

Riding the Wave Podcast by us, filmed immediately after the session.
