ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the role of administrator in the annual Leicester conferences, how it is seen and not seen, and its inherent possibilities. Administration is seen as low status—what or who does this hierarchy serve? If the administration is lacklustre, the conference will be the same; if there are administrative errors, these can serve as a distraction from the main task of the conference. If all the creativity is placed in the director and/or consultants of the Leicester conference, where might this leave the members and administration? Everyone who participates, creates the conference, and in exploring and taking up their role, more and more wholeheartedly, they make the conference more. The Leicester conference temporary organisation is seen as the cradle of group relations tradition—2010 is its sixty-fourth recurrence; it is the original one and spans fourteen days—longer than any other.
