Last week, The Co-operative Enterprise Hub had the pleasure of attending Co-operatives Congress, the three-day event designed to kick off Co-operatives Fortnight. The exhibition, which we wrote about here, saw the top minds from the co-operative sector gather to share ideas and network.
A number of attendees tweeted throughout the event, using the #cc11 hashtag to share quotes from the speakers and voice their own thoughts about the weekend.
Here's just some of our favourite tweets from the weekend:
@beckypants: "I love cooperatives, cooperation and #cc11” Top Tweet

The @icacoop are working to a plan of the #coops model being the fastest growing business model in the world. #cc11 Chuck Gould.
