I view the conference and exhibition circuit as being a key balancer for me. So much of my professional time is spent dealing with online activity, these events are often my best chance to reinforce relationships in the real world.

I’m always happy to share my knowledge if invited, but I’ll also attend simply to take in new perspectives. I’ve also live-tweet events too – if you want additional coverage for your event, feel free to reach out. I’ll keep this updated as best I can.

In addition to these, I’m also a regular at Reconverse and ProductTank - by turns, I’ll be curating, speaking, debating, live tweeting or occasionally, just sitting quietly!
