ITEC 2015 Annual Awards Ceremony en

Our ITEC 2015 was held in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. Over the course of the event our committees presented their work undertaken over the past year and their plans for the year ahead. Meetings were held at the Double Tree Hilton Aberdeen City Conference Centre and our Technical Day at the Transition Extreme climbing wall. The event was closed with our AGM, followed by our eagerly awaited Annual Dinner and Annual Awards ceremony, after which our members danced away the evening to a traditional ceilidh band.
