Agreed, not v scary!

Can’t wait to hear all about it!

Am on the reain, running late. :)

Missed start of the plenary, hope I can still register!

No blue ribbons etc as only just saw this thread, but will be on the lookout for blue-ribboned people.

So jealous of everyone there

On the train - hence crap typing.

Hope I'm not the only crap late person!! On the positive front, the protesters - who seemed to be a bunch of blokes in anoraks from the picture - will have hopefully have retreated to the bar and their 'fun, educational' videos! Lucky them!

Will be weird going back to the IoE, given I was a student there till a couple of years ago.

Good on the old place for hosting the event. :)

I'm on a delayed train too xxyzz so you're not the only one!

Have a lovely day everyone.

This is an amazing turnout. Well done all involved in organising the event!! So much work at such short notice.

Sit up world, this is what can happen when women engage.

I’m in a white top with roses on, currently sitting in the second row next to Maria MacLachlan !!

Ooh Maria's here!

So gutted to be here at home instead of with you all today.
Next year I should be in a better place financially and will definitely be there.

I will check on Twitter and FB for updates.

Enjoy, there's nothing like being in a room of like-minded, strong-willed, determined, articulate women to strengthen the will!

All the best, everyone! Those there - does the protestor group include shrieking girls with men covertly muttering to them what to , and whipping them up into a frenzy? That's what was happening outside the Brighton meeting. I could only describe them as tranzealots - they were scary.

I’m here! It’s great

Ha ha they've got women doing all the dirty work again.

Panel 4 is really interesting, esp for anyone who's read Invisible Women. Data needs to be captured accurately if you want to make policy that actually works!

I'm looking at some pics of the protestors on twitter, are they really wearing dicks on their heads?

I believe they are unicorn hats but yes they do look like dicks.

I've just been having a chuckle at the photos of the protestors and their signs. The poor young things don't have a clue.

Panel 3 is ace

Am I a bit thick, what does "There's no cis in team" actually mean?!

No idea!

Such a strong turnout and awesome speakers!

Am I a bit thick, what does "There's no cis in team" actually mean?!

That they’re too thick to use an original quote so had to twist an old one. ‘There’s no I in team.’ Let me think 🤔 taking an original terminology and twisting it to mean something different. What does that remind you off?

The irony of using a fantastical beast (unicorn) when pushing a fantastical agenda.

Reading up about today's meeting on Twitter and I can't begin to say how much I love this photo:

Oh that’s such a brilliant photo and I love the comments.

It looks great. I'm following the Twitter hashtag #WomensLib2020
