Immediately after the first day of Silicon Beach I’ll be catching the train back to Brighton in preparation for Friday’s dConstruct conference.

dConstruct is:

“dConstruct has a different theme every year. Last year it was “playing with the future.” This year it’s “communicating with machines.” The line-up for this year features designers, developers, artists and researchers from the worlds of web, mobile, security, comedy and music, all united for one day of exploration and entertainment.

For one day, the workers of the web come together to think about the big picture. If you want practical, hands-on instruction, you should come to the workshops but the conference itself is all about inspiration, mind bending, and good ol’-fashioned fun.”

For me, dConstruct is a chance to meet new people, catch up with lots of friends, and open my brain to some weird and wonderful ideas and experiences.

So if you want to catch up, you know where to find me.

I’m still rather new to Dorset, so I can’t wait for this week’s Silicon Beach conference, which will give me a chance to meet a few more of my local peers.

This is the blurb for Silicon Beach 2013:

“For the past two years, the annual Silicon Beach conference in Bournemouth has slowly (but surely) been gaining a reputation as an event that exceeds expectations, successfully sending its audience away with their minds blown.

The two-day event draws together an enviable programme of inspiring thinkers and doers, from a wide variety of disciplines, all with a common purpose of sharing their expertise and the latest innovative thinking that’s driving the rapid growth of the creative economy.”
