Digital Directors’ Dinner October
Digital Directors’ Dinner October | Microsoft’s vision, strategy and direction
Date: Wednesday 14th October
Time: 6pm - 10pm
Microsoft has pioneered opening up the web and boosting access. Internet Explorer has been the market leading browser of over a decade, their MSN business created the model for portals and now Bing is reshaping the search landscape. The UK has always been one of their key markets, but what’s the vision? What’s the strategy? What’s next for Bing?
Our Digital Directors’ Dinners have been a great way of relaxing over a glass of wine and networking with other senior industry figures. We bring you top speakers, great food, private dining and ideas you can apply to your own business. You bring yourself and a colleague, and the chance to relax and kick back. They’re intimate affairs, and to help you get more value from them we’re now taking extra questions in advance so the speakers are singing harder for their supper.
