World Piano Competition

end April, early May 2000, South Bank, London
held every 3 years in London. 600 contestants initially, with 24 competing in London's Purcell Room in four stages over a 2 week period.   Semi-finalists perform 50 minute recitals (usually 3 pieces) for a place in the Grand Final.  Lady Solti was the MC at the Grand Final.  Prince Charles gave the prizes.  Brahm's Piano Concert0 no. 1 was performed twice (by the Italian and the Finnish).  Prokofiev's 2nd was performed by a Macedonian pianist.  Who won? the one who did not expect it:  the 20 year old blonde.

Natural Products Exhibition

mid April 2000 Olympia, London
Organic and natural products include food, wine, medicine, clothing, cosmetics, oils, teas and drinks, and pet food.  It was an eye-opener to see so many exhibitors from all over the world keen to educate and spread the word. 

Internet World UK 2000

23 - 25 May 2000 Earl's Court, London
held every year in different locations around the world.  This year's was huge.  Three days were insufficient to visit all the stands and attend the 130 free seminars.  WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) was the buzz word.  Intel Online gave a live 3-actor multimedia 5-minute show about their new data centre.   Whoever watched it also got a free calculator afterwards.  I was most impressed by Jack Ma's killer notes speech.  Using the internet should be simple to use - but most people overdo it. Perhaps that was one reason for the downfall of Boo.com. Unfortunately, this show coincided with Online Information for the City.

E-BIZ Europe

14 September 2000 Queen Elizabeth II Convention Centre, London
High-tech, instant audience polling and results. The moderator was from Business Week - but previously talk-host of a radio programme in the US - National Public Radio. It was like being on TV - he spoke like someone famous. Nick Negroponte was the opening guest speaker. Since I had read his book Being Digital Digital, I wanted to hear him speak.

What makes a good conference?

It's a combination of factors. Good timing so that the topic of the conference is topical. Location - convenience for all delegates - but equally tempting are exotic destinations like Hawaii. Content - this is the real test. Organisation. Contacts.
