Info

In each parallel workshop, posters were put up on the walls around the room, to stimulate innovative thinking. Each set of posters was relevant to that particular workshop. The quotes associated with the posters were generated as a result of real things people in services express and say as part of their experiences living and working in services. They were consultative in nature and compiled by Francis Coughlan, Andrew Small, and Fran Simpson at a number of meetings held on the Day Campus S.O.S. Kilkenny. The images are as a result of the visual perception of these sayings; these were drawn in an attempt to communicate in a visual and non traditional fashion with the participants at the conference. Some examples of these posters are shown below. 9
The key to the Solutions-Generating sessions was the participants. These people became the active voice at the conference and comprised of service providers, both voluntary and statutory, support staff, policy makers, people with intellectual disability, families, advocates and state agencies & departments. Each delegate had a role within the session – to procure realistic and solution-focused problem solving. For this reason, the conference had a much more participatory style. In line with the theme of innovation, and to help protect the environment, the National Federation decided to compile all the speakers’ presentations onto a specially customised memory stick, as opposed to giving out handouts of each presentation, as would have been done in previous conferences. Conference Navigator Guide Especially for the National Federation’s Innovation Conference, Mr. Ed Bernacki customised a Conference Navigator Guide, a book that combines a guide for innovative thinking and an idea journal all in one. Ed Bernacki’s Navigator Guide The Navigator Guide had two overriding objectives: 1. To help people make more effective notes. This can be a summary of key points from a presentation, quotes from speakers, questions to consider later, or ideas that come to mind during the event. 2. To prompt people to manage their ideas into action after the event. The dedicated website for the conference has been updated to include speakers’ biographies and presentations and is available to view at: http://conference.fedvol.ie/ 10
