As the co-founder of mashup* I get to contribute to the theme suggestions for upcoming events. Clearly having recently co-founded BeLocal I think the opportunities being created as ‘local goes social’ are significant but in societal and commercial terms and following the Networked Neighbourhoods events earlier this week (see earlier post here) and next weeks LeWeb11 event (the theme is SOLOMO -  SOCIAL-LOCAL-MOBILE) I suggested that mashup* holds an event specifically exploring the opportunities arising as ‘local goes social’. And so it is – Locial – on the 31st January (6.30pm – 8pm) at the Innovation Warehouse in London.

If you’re interested in contributing to the event please get in touch with the team at mashup* (team@mashupevent.com) as whilst I help steer mashup* I don’t run it (anymore!).
