It feels like we’ve only just recovered from this year’s SXSW, and the festival jumps right back on our agenda. In 2015, I was lucky enough to see some incredible speakers, ranging from the useful, the inspirational and some (often the best of the bunch) who were just plain weird. So, in a bid to […]
