There are some fads that we can afford to ignore. And there are some trends that we cannot – even if they seem so distance away from our area of interest. Cloud Computing is one of these.
I think that cloud computing is a pervasive information technology trend and not the whole shooting match – however it is important. Not because of what it is particularly but to what it enables and what it could mean. This is our business as Taverniers.
I am inviting you to a Fantastic evening on the 24th of June at The Copperfield Bar at The Dickens Inn, near Tower Bridge (E1W 1UH).
It’s a lovely historic pub St Katherine’s Dock and it will provide us a perfect setting for what I promise will be a very entertaining night.
You never know you may even want to contribute……
What I am doing is inviting five people to present consumer facing business concepts that are predicated on Cloud technologies as an enabler. They will talk about the market for their service, who might adopt it and why and how it might be experienced. They will talk about what would be required to deliver that service and what investment might be required to build it. Hopefully, this will fire your imaginations – to see beyond the virtualised data centres themselves and to consider the business opportunities for new brands.
Would you like to be one of the presenters? I have two more slots and you will have 8 mins to make a pitch. Pitch?
Ah yes, there will be a panel of Dragons (as in Den) representing business, finance and branding who will scrutinise the proposition and then make an investment or not. These Dragons are not to be taken lightly – they will be experienced senior hands in the real world.
And finally, we switch to a Strictly format and the Taverniers audience gets to contribute 50% of the vote.
There will be prizes. Not the investment of course but accolades never the less.
Who should come? Well if you’re a client type and regardless of what you do, this will be an insightful session of the relevance of the cloud on your business. If you’re a creative practitioner, you’ll get an entertaining 101 guide to the cloud and see how it could influence culture, business and the work we do – to make brand experiences that are relevant to the audiences that want to use them.
I’m very excited about the evening we will share. Cloud isn’t going away and to understand its impact if imperative – IMHO of course.
Of course, there will be lots of beer and Pizza too – we’ve outgrown the sausages I’m afraid. I have booked it at the end of the round robin phase of the world cup so no excuses. Spaces are limited so get the word out quickly and book your places. I have said before that you can sponsor this event – a few quid behind the Bar will get your company called out on our blogs and on the night.
Date: Thursday 24th June
Time: 6:30pm onwards
Venue: The Dickens Inn, Marble Quay, St Katherine’s Way, London, E1W 1UH
