CSForum 2011, London
“When I decided to organise CS Forum 2011 with Destry Wion and Randall Snare, I’d never organised a conference before. I learnt a lot, took some risks, made some mistakes, met amazing people from around the world, and got hooked on organising conferences. I went on to co-organise the London Content Strategy Meetup (1400 members), Confab London in 2013, and in September 2013 started my own event, Dare Conference (people skills for digital workers.) The thing I remember most about CS Forum 2011 was the feeling of meeting people from all around the world, coming together to talk about the challenges and opportunities of digital content.” — Jonathan Kahn, Conference Manager, 2011
