AI Optimist. B2B Marketing | Professional Services | Comms | Real Estate. Best Use of AI at 2023 B2B Marketing Awards
The first time I've worn shorts to present at a conference. But with a location like this, what else do you wear? Thanks to Ivo Lukac and Netgen for the invitation to Opatija, Croatia for the 2024 Web Summer Camp. And to Janus Boye for masterminding an all-day business track session that was stimulating, challenging and great fun. Janus had me talking about AI but Ivo's 14th annual retreat (that's what it felt like) is becoming renowned for offering attendees a rich mix of perspectives on the future of the web, so I was surrounded by developers, programmers and big thinkers. Highlights? Talks from Steven Pemberton Dina Hrastović and Alex Net. Plus chats (beers) with Robert Craven James Bloor. But the best bits came in the 30 minutes after each workshop session. Janus expertly brought together topics and people who are adjacent but may not always cross over in our day-to-day. So often you attend an event and everyone has a label or a badge. Not once while in Croatia did I feel pigeonholed. It was a great couple of days out of the office. Plus, it's not hard to relax into deep discussion when you're in your beach shorts. #websc #business
Looks good Ben Lee - hope you are off to Berlin next...
Shorts for Sunday?
Hi Ben, I was a pleasure to share event and ideas. I loved your ability to invert the pyramid of daily tasks. Great example about how to maximize high added value task using IA. Honored to be in your highlights 😀
Ben. It looks stunning and I’m sure the shorts helped you relax and get in your stride! Maybe at #Bidwells we should pick a shorts wearing day for the firm with the usual risk assessment and health warning!
Great to meet you too Ben. Enjoyed chatting/drinking with you 🍻

I bring people together for learning and networking
