£18m Collaborative R&D, Partnering for Innovation Tour Visits Bristol and London
UPDATE: If you're not able to make it along, follow on Twitter #tsbcollab. Presentations will be available as videos in next couple of days.
This week we're off to The Watershed in Bristol on Wednesday (2nd June) and the Internet Advertising Bureau in London on Thursday (3rd June).
These events are part of the Partnering for Innovation tour Chinwag is helping to organise, to support the launch of the £18m Collaboration Across Digital Industries competition.
There's still a few spaces left for the Bristol event, don't forget to RSVP to secure one.
If you're after more background about this competition, don't forget to check out the videos we blogged last week with Alex Stanhope from the Technology Strategy Board (TSB).
Last week's event saw us travelling to the fabulous Live Theatre in Newcastle. The event, a pre-cursor to the brilliant Thinking Digital conference, saw a great turnout with presentations from Ewan McIntosh, formerly of 4iP and founder of NoTosh and the Technology Strategy Board's Sian Brereton with much animated discussion and networking, facilitated by Mel Norman from Media Sauce.
At each event, there's a chance to hear some great speakers including Bill Thompson from the BBC and Roland Harwood from 100% Open talking about the digital landscape and the opportunities they see in the future.
There's also a presentation from the TSB giving in-depth information about the competition, and some quality one-on-one time to pick their brains.
In Bristol we'll hear from Lynette Morrison (Tailored for You) and Tom Dowding (Mobile Pie), talking about their experiences of raising money from the TSB. In London, Ewan Lamont will be talking about Monumental Games and the TSB-project that they ran.
Later this month we'll be heading to Glasgow (8th June) and Manchester (24th June), both events still have a few spaces left, although they're filling up fast.
Wondering what the events are like? One of the crew grabbed a few delegates in Newcastle to get their reactions...
and some snaps...
