| Comment | I was part of a group who organised a big conference at the SECC a couple of years ago. I helped but I didn't have final say on anything. Our side really wanted it to be great, though, because we're a youngish research lab and it would be nice for these international colleagues to see Glasgow's very nice.
We were thinking: bus out to Lomond, morning run organised around Kelvingrove park, Ashton lane pub crawl yadda yadda.
Instead folk got the walkway from hotels to the SECC; the provost made some jokes about our shit diet; noone had any idea Glasgow has all these great things. Just a big disaster. Annoyed me: folk probably left with exactly the impression of Glasgow they had going in. |
