London’s Calling 2018 was held on 16th February and Chris and I went along with every intention of attending a full day of sessions. We went to one session then spent the rest of the day networking instead!
So, rather than give you a great big article detailing everything I learnt, I’d like to tell you about some of the most influential and interesting people I met throughout the day.
Simon Peel – Integration Master, Chief Strategy Officer at Jitterbit
I met Simon whilst talking to the folks on the Jitterbit stand at the expo. Turns out he was previously CMO of CastIron Systems before their acquisition by IBM. We talked a lot about integration approaches, middleware tools and constraints and IBM in general. All in all, a charismatic and knowledgeable man
Doina Popa – London’s First Female CTA, CTO, Salesforce at Capgemini
Neil Procter – My First Project Manager, Global Head of CRM, Centrica
Angela Mahoney – RAD Woman, Salesforce MVP, Co-Founder of RAD Women
Bradley Rees – Recruiter, Managing Director, Associate Partners
Dr Sue Black OBE – Technology Evangelist, UK Government Advisor
Is there anything this lady can’t do? Dr Black was our keynote speaker at London’s Calling and she told us her story. She overcame some significant obstacles to get an education, started a campaign to preserve the legacy of Bletchley Park when it was under threat and does loads for the STEM movement – focusing on coding. She’s also a fantastic sport, staying and having a drink with everyone afterwards. You could see she got as much from each conversation she had as we all did. Thanks for coming along, Sue. I’ll be buying your book.
Sebastian Wagner – #TheCTACoach, Founder – Flow Republic
Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the awesome co-organisers of the London user groups and London’s Calling event. They’re always a team, always fun and always make you feel welcome. Thank you, Kerry, Francis, Todd, Simon, Amanda and Jodi for putting on such a fabulous event for us all to enjoy. I came away from the event feeling more a part of this Ohana, having met many of the people I speak to on Twitter face-to-face at last. Also, having connected with every single expo sponsor, I feel I can take something extra into my day job – a broader knowledge of what’s out there, so I can make stronger recommendations to my customers.
