Every year we turn our annual @communityrail.bsky.social conference over "to our members, by our members" #OpenSpace #Unconfernce style I look back with thanks to those who showed me this format @paulineroche.bsky.social @lornaprescott.bsky.social 😃 but think too of dear friends John P & Nick B 😢
Now it's time for the exciting part.. Session 2, Open Platform 🗣️
This member-driven format offers the opportunity for our members to shape the workshops by pitching #CommunityRail topics they feel would benefit from a collaborative conversation with their peers.

Not sure which to pick as my favourite.... maybe @thebeautyoftransport.com or @mrtimdunn.bsky.social can help decide? Over the last week I've seen that Europe certainly knows how to 'do stations' that really announce their presence! @interraileu.bsky.social
