Wow, what a great start to Transmissions last night. Thanks to all of you who made your way through the gridlock and pea-souper to join us at the IMW — it was a great turn out and fantastic to host a real cross-section of the creative and digital scene. 

A huge thanks to our speakers, who gave us a really diverse look at innovation across their respective companies. While Imran uses his entrepreneurial instinct to find new ideas and markets for iTeddy, Hal is part of a Sony’s very considered and inclusive innovation program and, with Huddle, Martin has a killer web app that in itself fosters innovation through collaboration.

Another big hit on the night was The Fortunograph — a mysterious, mind-boggling frankly awesome digital tarot-reader created by Madlab and The Kazimier; well-suited to the misty evening outside. Find out more about their wacky ventures at www.madlab.org.uk

The team at the IMW helped make it a great night with a stunning venue and superb team — so hats off to the IMW too.

No rest for the wicked though — Transmission # 2 (#tx2) is only a couple of weeks away: this time we’ll be back in Salford Quays at Northwest Vision and Media’s new HQ, for a look at innovations in web. If #tx1 is anything to go by, tickets could fly out, so be quick and get yours here.

See you there!
