Welcome Frank from Interwrite!
Frank Augustino arrived in joins the Sitech Conference from Interwrite head office, which is really exciting. It always makes me wonder what international guests think of Powhiri and haka in particular. I know the first one that I saw scared the wits out of me. Owhata School were brilliant, their kapa haka groups performed brilliantly and the students presenting the keynote did an awesome job. Ka pai.
I presented two sessions this afternoon and, not finding any water in the hall my mouth was dry. I was part way through ‘IWB and Literacy’ presentation when in walks Frank and his wife. They were very gracious and encouraging…. During the brief conversation I had Frank noticed I was without water and went to get some for me from the kitchen, this is the Vice President of Business Development and International Sales of GTCO CalComp Inc, going to get me water!
I am glad to hear the conference is going well, but most disappointed to be missing it at the same time. I remember Frank´s generousity and kindness last time he visited NZ and I am so pleased to hear that he has returned for another visit, this time bringing his wife! I hope the rest of the conference went great for you, and I look forward to you sharing what new discoveries you have made!!
