well, I've finally got to Watford and now waiting for a taxi to take me to c&binet - which sounds like some sort of closet conference but is actually focussed on creative industries and digital in particular. It's pretty exciting with lots of big names going. We already know Clare Reddington from iShed and Alex Stanhope from TSB (not the bank), but short of that I can't see anyone else in the members list that hails from Bristol.
Loads of interesting topics and plenty of room for debate. I'm looking forward to learning lots and also taking part. This is a DCMS thing - and looks to be an action point that is related to the digital britain report. Obviously I'm very happy that nameless is represented there but I think this is about far bigger issues than just being a little name in a long list of who's who of digital Britain. I think it's up to us and companies like us to move the sector up a notch.
If you take a look at the site for c&binet you'll see a whole list of delicious topics for us all to get our teeth into. The smiley Peter Mandleson will be there and if I get the chance I'll want to find out how he is planning on ensuring that companies like ours flourish rather than get taxed to hell along with every other poor small business over the next few years :-).
ooh. taxi might be here. Gotta run! Will report back as things happen - probably tweeting mostly. Follow me if you like (@jayacg).
