In the Midlands? - Three things to reflect on this week.

For those of us in the Midlands, here are three things to think about over that CostaBucks as you start the week:

1. There was a brilliant TEDx Brum event on Saturday. Lots of local, great speakers, and an exceptional one by Emma Mulqueeny. If you have millenials, anywhere in your world, visit her blog on “97ers”.

2. There is a NextGen 14 conference here in Derby on Tuesday and Wednesday. Amidst all the routine, unexciting bits will be some insights that may just affect the way every business in Derby works.

3. Bearing in mid what might emerge from this, here’s a trend that is frightening the tech companies, that also has implications for the rest of us.

These are the sort of things we normally pass by when we're busy. Understandable, but we probably shouldn't.

Have a great week.
