So, @BeyondCnf our 4-day conf & showcase bringing together the top minds in #CreativeIndustries R&D is just a week away: 30 Nov - 3 Dec. There’s *so* much happening, 100+ speakers, 120+ sessions, 40+ exhibitors, I’ve picked out some of my faves: thread (it’s long, apols)

[Sam Michel @toodlepip]

Many hours of work done, and still lots to do, but #BeyondConf is shaping up nicely. If you're working in #CreativeIndustries it's probably the biggest gathering of researchers and biz you'll find. I mean, I'm biased, but the point still stands!
