Quova Hosts Post Financial Times Digital Media Conference Mixer in London

Our EMEA team was picking up the cocktails on Thursday 3rd March after the dust had settled following the Financial Times’ annual Digital Media & Broadcasting conference at the Marriott Grosvenor Square London. A relaxed time was had by all at the informal get-together for analyst and media-types from the conference, at the Barley Mow pub in the heart of London’s Mayfair.

In addition to a handful of familiar faces including Quocirca’s Bob Tarzey and SC Magazine’s Paul Fisher, the team welcomed new friends from the worlds of gaming, media and business. Initial conversation inevitably centred on Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt MP, last minute decision to pull out of the conference, before Gareth, Walter, Steve and Miranda got sucked into some meaty geolocation chat with their media guests.

The FT’s flagship industry event was a roaring success once again, with decision-makers, strategists and visionaries from music, broadcasting, advertising, publishing, social media and gaming coming together to discuss where the growth lies in digital. Arguably the biggest news from the event has been the BBC’s decision to go international with its widely lauded iPlayer application, enabling residents outside the UK to have full access to features and archived programming for a very affordable subscription fee.
