There’s a Chinwag Live session on widgets in the free part of ad:tech London this year, but what are you doing afterwards..?

Fancy meeting up for some informal drinks on the 27th, when the whole 2-day conference / expo shebang is winding down?

Please feel free to pop by The Hand and Flower (just over the road from Olympia) afterwards for a few beverages and some stimulating digital chatter. And bring colleagues and invite contacts along if you like.

NB: this is *not* a sponsored event, so bring some crispy green ones with which to buy yourself some refreshments... hope to see some of you folks there.

Cheers - the Chinwag team
