I did not have "seeing Steve Coogan (the well-known actor) talk at a co-op conference" on my bingo card for this year!

Next up for me at the #CoopCongress today (maybe mute this hashtag now if this isn't your jam 😅) we have:

"What's next for us owning our own tech? Let's talk about #CoTech"

> Hosted by John Robb, musician, author and campaigner; and Natasha Natarajan, Outlandish Co-operative, and Richard Rowley from Agile Collective, who are both part of CoTech – a network of ethical tech, digital and creative co-operatives.

Happening now at #CoopCongress: panel discussion on "Why aren't we controlling our own tech?"

It might seem like a small thing, but for me it's massive: the food at #CoopCongress seems to be #vegan by default.
Vegan pastries! 🥰😍

I've been to my fair share of conferences and this might be the first time I've had this luxury!

I'm not sure I've been to a conference in a more beautiful location - Rochdale Town Hall is grander and more beautiful than I could've ever imagined

On the train up north for tomorrow's #CoopCongress! Excited to listen to some great tasks, and chat to folks about the potential for Research Co-ops ✨
