Enterprising Fashion was a one day event bringing together experienced entrepreneurs, recent startups and individuals eager to join the fashion industry.

How do you ensure the consumer buys not only your product but you brand. The talk "Slow vs. Fast Fashion" addresses this question. 

UK creative entrepreneurs are going back to what matters; social values, sustainability and ethical development.

Hollywood hothouse MGM used to say it had 'more stars than there are in heaven'. We won't go that far, but the latest speakers at our March 8th SXSW masterclass, Doing Business in the USA, are stellar.

Just to mention a few: Harper Reed, Robert Scoble and Dragos Ilinca, read on to meet them all.

Tickets are available here.

Enterprising Music brought together entrepreneurs, start-ups and individuals eager to join the music business.

When the music industry met the internet, it was a clash. Challenged with high-speed connectivity, frictionless sharing, P2P and social networks, find out how parts of the industry turned crisis into innovation.

March 8th is the day and Austin, Texas the place for “Doing Business in the USA”. We have partnered with SXSW to hold a masterclass for Founders, CEOs and C-level executives planning to enter or expand their business in North America.

Today we have the pleasure of announcing some of our fantastic speakers: Toby Daniels, Aziz Gilani and Jessica Butcher.

Tickets are available here.

When it comes to popularity with Social Media Platforms it may be a case of slow and steady wins the race. We all know Facebook was the speedster Hare but who would have thought that Google+ is our plucky little turtle?

Globalwebindex latest research surfaces results that might raise a few eyebrows amongst social media marketers.

As you probably already know Social Media Week London will be back in September. If you didn’t know then I am sorry to be the one to break the news. Although it must have been a mighty big rock you were hiding under.

Social Media Week February is running in 8 global locations, it may feel a little too last minute to longhaul it to the other side of the pond to NYC or Tokyo but the European locations are just a hop, skip and a jump across the channel.

With lots of the events being run in English it really is worth having a look, or getting involved in a google hangout!

Do you ever find yourself missing the dulcet tones of dial up? 

Lamenting those lost 20 minutes spent rapping your fingers on the desk, waiting for a picture of Jennifer Aniston to load, just so you can show your hairdresser the "Rachel"?

Of course not. Isn't it amazing though just how much the internet has changed in the last ten years?

Wayra is awesome. No, really.
