SHORTER ISSUE DUE TO HOLIDAY WEEKEND
The best thing to do to ride this horror out is to book your tickets for the September 21st TBD Meetup in London (and on-demand). The three speakers are world-class as always: we have the award-winning journalist Oliver Franklin-Wallis, global design superstar, Matthew Cockerill, and internationally renowned Creative Innovation Technologist, Muki Kulhan. The theme? ‘Depiction’. Your ticket entitles you to food, drinks, a limited-edition TBD A3 desk pad and more! Bring a buddy!
SO WHAT?
__ DO __ Book that ticket now. // __ DON’T __ Forget to book a ticket for a friends - spaces are limited.
Researched Fintech client presentation for late September, confirmed multiple speaking opps (France, Ireland, US), caught up with several clients, multiple Paracetamol sessions helping people with inertia and their stacks, began confirming speakers for the next TBD Conference (Feb 24) and promoted the third speaker for TBD Meetup on Sept 21 (tickets).
