During a conversation I had with CICLOPE supremo Francisco Condorelli yesterday, he ran through the full programme of panels and talks for their annual Berlin conference which will take place from 7th to 9th November. It's a very impressive line-up, and CICLOPE looks set to once again demonstrate why it stands head and shoulders above every other industry gathering. Its superiority owes a great deal to the care and attention that goes into curating the event. Francisco is absolutely determined to ensure that CICLOPE is as good as it can possibly be, and the quality of the discussions and presentations on its stage are a reflection of this ambition. The full allocation of tickets are sold every year. And, because people know I'm a great supporter of CICLOPE, in the last few days before it starts, I'll inevitably be asked by a few dozen people if I can persuade Francisco to squeeze them in. I usually can't. So, please get ahead of the curve and sort out your tickets sooner rather than later. I promise you it will be excellent. |
