The guest speaker whose name I forgot to note – apologies! – gave a short but memorable speech containing three bits of advice that he wanted to pass on to the newly graduated based on his successful business career. They were to always say yes, to build networks (professional and personal) and to fail often. On that basis I would like to advise all readers to say yes to Tech Live taking place on September 17. Online registration is now open at www.tech-live.co.uk and by attending the event you can also nurture your network. On this occasion, please don’t fail to follow my advice. Another good bit of advice can be found on page 20, courtesy of Daniel Blackman, IT Director of McClaren Construction Group, who advises young people taking their first steps in IT to stay open to new ideas from across the IT spectrum. Technology is moving so fast and in such unpredictable directions that it surely makes sense to develop as broad an interest in IT as possible. This is certainly the case for technology resellers and MSPs, who must constantly react to new developments and changing demand. On page 10, Angus Shaw of Brigantia advises MSPs to never stand still and on page 32 Lee New from F One Technologies highlights the benefits of developing new capabilities and expertise to cope with the rapid pace of change. The best place to do that on September 17 is Tech Live at the Business Design Centre, London. See you there.
