It's #NetMCR's (https://www.netmcr.uk/) 10th birthday this Thursday (11th) in #Manchester from 7pm!
There's 3(!) talks this time:
-
Wren Wood, ‘Emergency Broadcast Connectivity’:
Ever wondered how you can see a correspondent live from the middle of nowhere, or embedded deep in a warzone? Wren will be pulling back the curtain on what goes into making live news. With a wide range of scenarios, and having to prepare for the absolute unknowns, they will discuss how you plan, deploy and execute reporting from all kinds of scenarios. Including connectivity from mobile networks to microwave links and satellite to dark fibre - all of the challenging environments there are.
-
Michael Young, ‘The Apprenticeship Gap’:
We’re really excited to hear from Michael, who’s coming to us to speak about his employer’s apprenticeship scheme. His team’s intention was clear; to bring in new skills, and foster new ways of working that could help move the organisation forward. In practice, it wasn’t entirely straightforward to match new capabilities with how teams were already operating. We’ll hear the story of how Michael’s team identified the issues, talked about them openly, and started changing on both sides in order to meet in the middle.
-
James Blessing, ‘Digital Infrastructure in the North’:
There are things being built in the north that we may well all be interested in. James will tell us all about the recent DINA26 meeting, and what we should be aware locally to that end. Slightly cryptic? You’ll just have to come and see for yourself!
Go and chat with some nice people, have some weird 🍻, and if you're hungry, 🍔 and 🍟!
