Andy Fackrell - 180 Amsterdam (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
I really enjoyed Semi Permanent more than the others, because I had practised a few times what I was actually going to say. So it felt more relaxed than previous speeches that had scared the crap out of me.
Born in England, raised in Australia and then New Zealand, Andy Fackrell studied graphic design and visual communication at Wellington Polytechnic. Currently Executive Creative Director of 180amsterdam, he previously worked at Wieden+Kennedy in Portland, Oregon. During that time he was largely concerned with the Adidas and Nike accounts and his love affair with sport continues at 180amsterdam, a production house located in both Amsterdam and Los Angeles that works across advertising, digital, design and retail.

The joy of conferences? I’d say the exchange of creative ideas and information, meeting my peers, and being there to help inspire a new generation of designers and artists.

The joy of conferences? The finishing of your presentation so that you can enjoy others.
The joy of conferences? That precise moment when the overwhelming urge to throw-up from nervousness goes away and you realise that people are actually listening to what you have to say.

The joy of conferences? Getting to meet people afterwards! And free food.
Danny Yount - Prologue Films (New York, USA)
The joy of conferences? Traveling and meeting great people. I need inspiration like everyone else so that’s what I like to do get re-energized. I also get to learn so much from the other presenters and sometimes see old friends.
