About this document
This report was written in the weeks following easa010 Manchester and prior
to INCM 2010 Copenhagen though I have been working on it to a greater or
lesser extent throughout the whole organisation process.
Sitting down to write a Final Report is a daunting prospect, in some ways more
daunting than any other aspect of organising EASA – there are a lot of things
to consider. Not all EASAs have produced a fi nal report, but for the nature
of easa010 it feels entirely appropriate. Having read a number of previous
Final Reports, it is clear that the approach to these documents is as varied as
the types of EASAs the teams have produced. From the rigorously thought
through, and elegantly written, Irish report of 2008, to the voluminous Swiss
report from 2005 with its reproduction of bundles of communications and
workshop submissions, to the very conversational (and my personal favorite)
1997 Train document; to pick three from the multitude.
Rather than try to copy any of these, we have rather tried to emulate their spirit
of providing something of benefi t to the network, to provide it with something
we would have appreciated in the years and months leading up to easa010.
It is my hope that this document can serve as both documentation of the
easa010 event and as a reference document for future organisers. The
extensive easa010 organisation team has all been called upon to write
relevant sections, and as much as possible they appear here un-edited so
that the words come to you direct from the people most involved with each
element of a fantastically complex undertaking. It is also my hope that the
document, while remaining pertinent in content, retains personal voices of
the contributors, EASA is a network and its charm comes from the people who
attend and as such we have tried to keep this document conversational with
added facts.

easa010 Final Report
There are many things that affected easa010 that will be irrelevant to future
EASAs, be it because of politics, fi nancial situation, the goals of the organisers,
or simply the location typology, that said the report has been produced as a
single document with the network and future organisers in mind. As such
it has been split into fi ve sections, Bidding, Organisation, easa010, Output,
and Appendices. It has been laid out in such a way so that it can be read in
a chronological order, time permitting, but also so that future organisers can
quickly fi nd relevant details, facts or tips without trudging through the entire
document.
With that said, if you are sitting comfortably then we shall begin:
Welcome to our Final Report.
