Like most other modern human beings (and I’m including you in this), I’m naturally bad at prioritising my life. There are all sorts of psychological processes that — while nicely suited to living in the early hominid moment — aren’t much use when it comes to mid- and long-term planning in the modern world. Wikipedia maintains a handy-dandy list of the resulting cognitive biases that’s worth perusing from time to time.

PsychUp is back! This first gathering of 2014 takes place on 4th Feb at 6pm and it’s going to be a great way to start your Psych journey for the year with optimisation maestro, Craig Sullivan and colour psychologist, Karen Haller.

In addition to presentations, there’s drinks, snacks and plenty of time for networking and chat. Early-bird tickets have almost sold out, so don’t wait too long to book.

OK, we admit it. We got a little greedy with not one, but two new speakers who've kindly agreed to come and speak at next week's PsychUp November: Karen Fewell author of upcoming book #FoodPorn and Ian Randolph, Head of Cognitive Modelling at Samos Analytics.

Along with Alex Sass, who'll explore how social phobias can be used in planning digital marketing campaigns, it's going to be a varied session with plenty of food for thought. And drinks. And nibbles. There's still time to grab a ticket.

Next week Chinwag will be hosting the first Chinwag Psych: PsychUp, Wed 8 Oct (6pm - 9pm). Geared towards marketers, academics and anyone with an interest how businesses can use psychology, neuroscience and behavioural economics to improve.

Following the hugely successful Chinwag Psych earlier this year, this meetup will showcase two leading thinkers in the field, with a few drinks and a chance to chat and network with like-minded people. Did we mention it is completely free to attend?

A researcher at 3D design software firm, Autodesk is championing a new way of visualising how organisations change and evolve using a company's internal graph.

James Mayes, investigated the Autodesk experiment, chatted to the man behind it and discovered a fantastic offer for those wanting to run the same experiment for their organisation.

The list is complete. We have all our speakers for Chinwag Psych and it’s looking great.

Tickets are still available for the conference. Get yours here now.

Big data is big, obviously. It’s huge, in fact with the amount of information pouring out of social networks, ecommerce systems let alone those that run our ‘real lives’ the challenge of figuring out what’s happening is almost insurmountable.

This time last year we started to explore how the worlds of psychology, neuroscience and machine learning could help techno-numpties like me to apply some of this high-fallutin’ brain science to business. From influence to behaviour to understanding emotions, there’s plenty to take on board.

Chinwag Psych was born, bringing together the leaders in this emerging world where academia and business combine in large part powered by digital and social media.
