A message from Matt Bagwell 

“On the eve of the Last Orders at the Bar Fantastic Tavern event, I wanted to whet your appetite for the evening ahead and ensure that come rain or shine (mostly rain I suspect), you brave the weather, make the trip and are with us by 7pm at Ravensbourne.

I have worked with Ravensbourne, their students and incubating companies, Greenwich Council and their start up businesses and The Future Laboratories to make sure we have plenty of thoughts on 2012 trends to hear about and assess. We will also be joined by Mike Short, VP of Innovation and R&D at O2/Telefonica, who will help us understand the vision for the Digital Peninsula and what is already happening. As I have said before – and to paraphrase Alan Kay – the best way to predict the future is to actually invent it. That is true of what a variety of organisations – including Ravensbourne – are actually doing and it is something different, something special.

I’ve ordered enough beer and wine to sink a battleship (thanks EMC Consulting). Greenwich Council and our kind sponsors, Marcus Donald People, will feed you and make sure you have entertainment after the main event.

And yes, my twitter feed tells no lies. Jesus really is a DJ. From Fabric. Playing just for you.

I think we are set to finish on a high. Please be a part of it.”
