Good morning all from Jon Haworthand I!
I'm still buzzing from our meet up yesterday-- what an incredible gathering. Thank you so much to all who made it to Tate Britain for the event. We were lucky enough to be joined by the Tessitura team in force with Andrew Recinos, John Jakovich, Erin Lively Koppel, Claire Zammit and Gill Tasker in attendance and joining in the conversation. I think it's fair to say a good time was had by all!
At yesterday's meeting we had discussions on three topics as well as a short presentation from Kirsty Alexander on the first 6 months of Amgueddfa Cymru's Tessitura journey.
I'm going to post our discussion questions as separate discussions in the forum so anyone who couldn't attend can comment and share thoughts and ideas further and we can keep the conversation going.
In the mean time, for those who could attend, please do take a look at filling out the survey link below. We really value your feedback and want to make the upcoming events as accessible and enjoyable as possible for all.

Also, please keep your eyes peeled for our next two meetups which I will be posting shortly. To make it easier for all to attend, these will be virtual, and we will confirm dates for future in person meetups as we go.
Hey Jenna Whitnall, sorry I couldn't make this one. Out of interest, how often are you planning on running in-person meets every year? Will try and sneak some budget for next financial years' ones if I can!
Just wanted to echo Jenna's thanks - it was so nice to see so many of you for what was a really fun and thought-provoking session. Particularly grateful to the Tessitura team for joining us and to Kirsty for stepping up as our first presenter! Look forward to seeing you all again soon
Hi James, It's a little early to say as it's very much dependant on orgs offering to host us in a meeting room etc. I would hope at least 2 or 3! For now, if you'd like to block the last Thursday of each month from 16:00-17:00 in your diary, we are planning on this being our regular meeting time. Our next two meetups will be virtual so I hope you will be able to join!
