Evaluating Impact: NLab, Amplified Leicester, and creative innovation via social media
Wednesday 8th June 2011, 4pm at the Institute of Creative Technologies De Montfort University, Leicester, UK . Coffee and refreshments. All Welcome

Since 2005, DMU has initiated a series of projects which share a common focus of exploring social media as a means of stimulating creative innovation in business, non-profit, and community life in and around Leicester. They include NLab and CreativeCoffee Club (funded by HEIF, the Higher Education Innovation Fund) and Amplified Leicester (funded by NESTA, the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts). Professor Sue Thomas has devised and directed these activities across the Faculty of Humanities and the Institute of Creative Technologies.

FutureEverything: Why do geeks go camping? slides and interviews from #futr

I really enjoyed speaking at FutureEverything in Manchester last week and, indeed, met quite a few UK geeks who go camping :) Thanks very much to Imran Ali, who invited me, and to Drew Hemment, the magician who has made this impressive event happen annually for 16 years in a row.

I believe there will be a filmed interview available soon but for now here are links to an audio interview and a pdf of my slides.
