Summer in the City 2014

This is gonna get very rambly and very long, just so you know before you read any further. So much happened this year and I want to try and fit it all into one blog post so I'll try and condense it as much as I can but can't guarantee it.

So, my second year attending and volunteering at the event and it beat last year by a mile!

Friday was Creator Day which we attended and learnt some stuff. The highlight of that day for me was definitely the 'Working With Brands' panel which included PJ, Tyler Oakley, Jamie from Sorted. Food and other people who worked for brands or agencies. It was both entertaining (how could it not be with Tyler on the panel) and informative.
We also managed to chat with Hazel Hayes on that day as well as a few other creators. It was basically the expo hall plus panels throughout the day so we spent majority of our time trying out Google Glass (weird at first but when you get used to focusing on the little screen, it is so so cool!) and playing Playstation and XBox games.

Saturday was our first day of volunteering and as much as there was a schedule I don't think anyone really stuck to it. I queued for the Dan & Phil meet and greet but then ended up helping out taking photos for people anyway. It got to the point where Dan would look to me even when I wasn't taking the photo, that's how many I took. They were super nice and it was fab to interact with them as much as I did. Cue photos from that.
