This is a slightly tongue-in-cheek report on the LILAC 2024 conference, held in Leeds Becket University from Monday 25^th to Wednesday 27^th March 2024.

The seven rules of LILAC

With apologies to Chuck Palahniuk, and thanks to two anonymous posters

1. You do talk about LILAC.
2. You do talk about LILAC!
3. But when the session-chair says stop, you stop.
4. As many presenters as you want. And any colour you like, so long as it’s LILAC.
5. At least two parallel sessions at a time – and you’ll want to go to all of them. Put thyself through a 3-D photocopier.
6. Present with activities (Padlets, Menti, Slido, post-its, sharpies: all that good stuff)
7. Revere Queen Jane and her court.
8. If this is your first time at LILAC (even if it’s not), party until it’s pumpkin-time. LILACers don’t get hangovers.
