We are live again in Amsterdan for Day Two of TruAmsterdam, the current event in the Bill Boorman/Geoff Webb TruUnconference series. Great local assistance by Gordon Lokenberg, Jacov Valkeneburg and Peer Goudsmit.

Last night in Amsterdam appears to have caught out some casualties - Where are Jacov, Shane, Dimitar and Kes, for example? Some excellent tracks to come today, with Bert Koning from OTYS and RCEuro founder Alan Whitford looking to engage delegates in conversation.

@billboorman is kicking things off with a group discussion on Going Social, essentially trying to wake us all up.

Local support and attendance is strong, with over 50 delegates attending Day One. Hosted at the YER Amsterdam offices, a great venue, with multiple session rooms, a completely equipped blogging/internet room and a billiant bar and outside terrace. Wonderful hosts for the FIFA World Cup England-Slovenia and USA-Algeria soccer matches last night, with the hoped for results for the British and American contingents.  A really big vote of thanks to YER for hosting the event, graciously and with such benevolence with 24x7 refreshements.

A full slate of tracks are scheduled for Thursday, with track leaders from the Netherlands, Ireland, England, the USA and more. Reports are on the Twitter hashtag: #truamsterdam.

The Video Interview competition, hosted by Inovaz should really take off today. Competiton is to win a Kodak video camera. 3 Questions on the use of Social Media have been set on the Inovaz video interview platform by @billborrman. The best answers, judged by the expert panel, will win the camera.

Final Thoughts on the way home:

The two days were a real success, engaging recruiters, both corporate and third party. Social had a lot of discussion, as did technology and an excellent session on and by LinkedIn. Many new relationships started, more will come and some old relationships given new impetus. Looking forward to the next one. A couple of pictures from the two days are below:  Shane McCusker of 1ntelligence Software discusses politcs with Knollenstein founder Paul Stuurman and Martin Lee of Zubed.com gets ready for his RCEuro Recruitment Thought Leaders Conversation with Alan Whitford - which will feature next week.
