Digital Agency Event
April 12th, 2010 by rbanks
Michael McClary has put together a write-up of a Microsoft event in London that I was lucky enough to participate in a few weeks ago. Focussed on showing off some of the cooler things coming up from us, it showcased to a UK audience first hand a lot of the announcements made at MIX 2010, including stuff about the Windows Phone, as well as giving some of our partners in the UK a place to showcase their work. Michael gives a great overview of everything that was shown on the day. Worth a read.
I felt a little out of place with my stuff about bereavement and heirlooms, but it seemed to go down well. I guess my role in this sort of session is to get the audience thinking about something quite outside of their own space, or the key topics of the day, before they get down to more “serious” business.
The location of the event was stunning, at the top of the CenterPoint tower in the centre of London. Here’s a few shots.

The sun starting to set across London. I particularly like the brightly lit greenhouse on a rooftop in the centre of the second shot:

I didn’t know CenterPoint had an England base. I thought they were a 100% Texas. They run the energy in Houston.

Different CenrePoint, I think. This is just the name of the building, which is in the middle of London
