I was lucky enough to be invited as a guest of PSFK and head along to the Southbank Centre for a day of inspiring talks. As the day was such a success I wanted to bring it back to life for you and impart some of the wisdom that was handed down, notably how to do a live presentation of your own app using kindle through your iphone to do your presentation without major catastrophe. Jess Butcher, CMO of Blippar, please take a bow. More of Blippar later though.
For those of you who don’t know who or what PSFK is the go-to source for new ideas & inspiration for creative professionals.
They provide readers and event attendees with robust trend and innovation stimulus.
Over 1,000,000 readers from the design, digital, marketing, media and technology industries go to PSFK.com each month to read and share the emerging ideas that our editorial team identifies and publishes. They also publish a series of ‘Future of’ reports on the subjects of health, gaming, mobile and retail.
PSFK’s events team brings to life the ideas described each day on PSFK.com. They run single topic PSFK SALONS around the world and also host all-day inspirational talks at PSFK CONFERENCES in London, New York, San Francisco and Singapore.
By leveraging their publishing process and their global network of experts, they can offer a number of services including Custom Publishing, Innovation Consulting, Custom Events & Experiences and Communication & Media Planning.
So who was on stage. Over the day there were close to 20 speakers on stage ranging from Artists, brands, start ups and government bodies.
Let’s start with Blippar and the impressive Jess Butcher
