One of our favourite 2018 sessions was The Future of Talent Panel and a top takeaway from this was a story told by Zara Nanu, Founder of ... A father and son were travelling along a motorway when they were involved in a car accident. The father died and the son was rushed to A&E for surgery. The surgeon comes out, looks at the boy and says "I cannot operate on this boy, he is my son".

Who of you assumed that the surgeon was a man? The OiConf team certainly did. This story has stuck with us and emphasised the importance of questioning our ingrained stereotypes.

We are in love with The Passenger Shed ( 2018 venue). Originally Brunel’s Old Station and designed in 1841 by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it was built to the same scale as a cathedral and was (very impressively) completed in just two years?

FUN FACT - it took another 14 years before London could boast a similar structure of the same scale and importance at Paddington.

Although we adore the beautiful Passenger Shed and it's more than ideal location, we have decided to move on to new and exciting grounds for AiConf 2018, TechX 2018 and OiConf 2019. Stay posted for details.

This is Coris Leachman, Business Director at talking about how to make branded content people actually care about and boy did he draw a crowd!

With 4.6 billion pieces of content produced daily, it has become a necessity to understand what makes fundamentally great content. If you missed his seminar, head over to Linkedin Slideshare to find presentations from the day including Coris's (which is packed with cool facts and top takeaways) - https://bit.ly/2Jkey8S.

Impero never fail to cause a splash. When chatting to them before the event, we asked if they used social media metrics, they replied "No. Social and digital metrics are flawed. We let other agencies waste their money on pointless vanity metrics like engagement rates. Instead, we’re focused on driving real business results for our clients."

Incase you can't tell, they don't mince their words. To learn more about them and how they have become known for making tired brands famous again, head to the blog - https://bit.ly/2K5L4MW.
