Meet Draw Presents... Silicon Beach!

Hello Ex Players… we have managed to secure a deal with out lovely friends across the coast in Dorset, Meet Draw, who have said they will slash the price of their conference Silicon Beach by 50% for you lot!

Silicon Beach is a two-day exploration of the most innovative advertising and design techniques taking place in Bournemouth at the end of September and South West Design Forum members are being offered an exclusive discounted package on tickets AND accommodation.

A collection of the UK’s leading experts from organisations such as Ogilvy, BBH, Skype, Adobe, Virgin Media, Made by Many, Grape Digital, Microsoft and more; will spend two days at this intimate conference delivering talks and engaging with the audience, all the while being steered by David Worthington, the Chair of the UK Design Alliance.  They’ll be offering insights into the latest brand building techniques, how they implement them and how they measure the impact and Return on Investment on behalf of their clients.

The themes of this conference are perfect for client service teams - who will learn about all the latest innovations, how to offer them to their clients and how to charge for them.  They’re also perfect for the creative and planning teams who will not only learn how to use these same latest techniques but also they’ll learn how agencies such as Ogilvy and BBH use Innovation Labs with their clients to dream up new propositions.

It’s going to be an exciting and informative two days.  But don’t worry, if you don’t think you can afford to lose one person out of the studio for two days: Share the Ticket - one person attend Day One and another attend Day Two (you’ll miss the party on the night of Day One mind).

Meetdraw Presents… Silicon Beach is the inaugural conference organised by the Dorset Design Forum (Meetdraw) and they would like to extend an exclusive offer to all South West Design Forum members to ensure the whole of the region gets to benefit from this exciting event.  They’re offering a 50% discount to members, so tickets are now just £99 (normal price £199) and they’ve arranged a deal with the fantastic Trouville Hotel who are able to offer B&B for just £49pppn.

If you’re interested in taking up this offer and attending this awesome event, email the conference organiser and SWDF Vice Chair, Matt Desmier: matt@wiseolduncle.com for more details.
