3 days left and counting…

It’s a pleasure to Chair BIMA, host to the most prestigious awards in the UK dedicated to the creatives in the Interactive Industry. The Awards celebrate creative excellence and best practice in interactive design.

Given that the UK is the centre of excellence for creativity worldwide, does that make the BIMA’s the most prestigious awards worldwide? I think it does.

This year, to mark the outstanding achievement of our winners, we have selected a venue at a location which has become one of the most popular areas for companies in the creative, interactive industries. The Midnight Gardens is situated at the Truman Galleries, Elys Yard, Hanbury Street, London E1.

BIMA practicing what it preaches

As some of you know, I spend much of my time networking and consuming new tools and techniques to help keep my finger on the digital pulse. As we polish the remaining logistics for the Awards, it looks like I’m going to spend half the evening on stage handing out trophies to the lucky winners. Matthew Bagwell, the Awards Chair (who I may add, is doing a fantastic job!), will be up there for the other half.

So, I’m not going to get the opportunity to Twitter for the entire evening. I could, but I might look a little weird with an award in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

Sam Sethi has kindly agreed to twitter live, so make sure you subscribe to his Twitter feed in order to find out who’s picking up each award as it happens.

I’ll Twitter throughout the evening so feel free to subscribe to my feed also. If you’re attending the awards, be sure to grab my attention for a quick chat over a tipple or two
