On day 2 we had a number of short presentations from a diverse and eclectic list of speakers. They included environmental thinker and statistician Professor Bjorn Lomborg, speaking about climate change, strategist and blogger Russell Davies talking about the stuff that surrounds us, artist Bob Van Dijk talking about making clothing for flies on bikes, Andrew Shoben of Greyworld talking about art in public spaces, a dominatrix, a guy who talked about rabbit genitalia and sex with dolphins, and many more whose names I can’t remember just now, but they were great, too.

Then it was off to the seaside for yet more brutally punishing drinking. We had a rather scary Wicker Man-style effigy of Dan that had been constructed outside the bar:

‘Burning Dan’ you see – geddit?

Entertainment for the evening was provided by Reggie Watts…

And Lemon Jelly. It was a bit of a big night.

Afternoon of day one involved running around Amsterdam in teams for a sort of complicated treasure hunt thing. The sunshine, the canals and the many bars of Amsterdam conspired to gradually lure away the less competitive team members to spend the afternoon less strenuously. The afternoon ended with drinks on the rooftop terrace of the new building.

Then, inevitably, there was more drinking and a disco with music themed to 1982, the year the agency was founded. More pics on Flickr here, if you want.
