Apart from an excuse to go out on a school night? It will be our first time attending but since a collaboration project of ours is nominated it will be fun. A bit like betting on a race but not being able to stamp your feet when your horse comes in ‘not first’.

Although i’m not being pessimistic, i’m just not that competitive (he says until he bathes in the glory of success)

I think it’s fair to say that the Big Chips has provided me with some of the biggest hangovers I’ve ever suffered in my life.

For me the Big Chips sum up the glorious contradiction of the most visionary, future-aware, technologically-gifted human beings in the region dressing up like Victorian ladies and gentlemen, in the outdated and archaic garb categorised as ‘black tie.’

Which either goes to show that techies have no taste (surely not) or that the Big Chippers have yet to find that just-so Blake’s Seven or Star Trek-style costume more akin to our chosen sectors of employment.

Next year, anyone?

Really looking forward to the Big Chip Awards this year.

The awards aren’t just about hoping you’ll win, it’s the priceless networking opportunities it presents.

With so many of the top people in our industry there and an opportunity to make some great contacts, I’d be going even if we weren’t nominated for an award.

One conversation with the right person could lead to much more business than the ticket cost!

And with Bill Bailey doing a short set, it will definitely be a night to remember – OK – try to remember.
