Last week was a crazy week! – Firstly, I was in Barcelona for meetings on Monday morning… (thanks to the lovely taxi driver who got me to the office on time!)
Oh… if you’d like to follow my personal journies including lots of travel & food photos, pop over to my instagram account – @mrbalbansal
So that was Monday. Then I came back, and was at the NTU… with a few friends.
That’s right – my friend Shane Matthews (inventor of the Nerf Gun) was over from Atlanta, GA. He was here to give a talk at the Nottingham Trent University… but first, we went to meet the Sheriff of Nottingham.
In the photo above, we have the Sheriff of Nottingham in the middle, Shane and myself, and the Sheriff’s security. We went to Nottingham Castle, had a little look around, posed for some photo’s, gave an interview to Notts TV and Shane signed a few nerf guns.
The main event was Shane talking at the NTU (Nottingham Trent University)… at their Ignite Innovation conference…
They also, kindly let me say a few words…
We also had my friend Leigh, who worked for CIMAGINE, a startup that was sold to SnapChat for $40m…. he shared his views and thoughts on AR…
And then Shane was up… he was brilliant. The audience in the lecture theatre absolutely loved it!
One thing I loved about his talk was the ‘happiness line’. I’ll have to share it with you in another blog post…
So all in all, great event at the NTU. This university is definitely doing the right things for the local community.
And thank you to the love that was shown by folks in the audience..
Then the remainder of the week I was in London, meetings… and a quick attendance for the London Tech Week.
Well, what a busy week… why am I sharing this, because if you have the opportunity to attend local meetings, conferences where they have some interesting people… do so! You can learn so much.
So many folk at the end, were coming up to Shane, asking all sorts of questions… it was great to see that they were motivated and more importantly, had learnt something that they could use in their business or organisation.
