Hello,
As I know a number of list members have attended previous REMIX Summits on
Culture, Technology & Entrepreneurship so I thought list members might be
interested in the launch of this year's REMIX London 2014 Summit which is
our European event.
It takes place at Google Town Hall, the new event space at Google's London
HQ on 2-3 December 2014. *Please note there are just 150 tickets available
due to the nature of the venue and the last two events both sold out. *
