SUMMARY:TMM IRL: Oxford
DESCRIPTION:The Marketing Meetup Oxford is an informal\, friendly place for the marketers of Oxford to meet\, learn\, and share knowledge with one another. Come in ‘listen’ not ‘sell’ mode 🙂 \nThis is TMM’s very first event in Oxford (woohoo!). We just want to get together\, say hello\, have a chat\, and have a nice time. \nThink of this as a community event\, where the focus is very much on you meeting other people in a chilled out friendly space. We’ll chat over food and drink\, listen to an inspirational speaker or two\, chat some more\, and go home buzzing with new contacts and new ideas. \nLet’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people. \n——————–\nSpeaker: to be confirmed!\n——————– \nThe format of the night: \n6.00 pm – doors open – drinks\, networking\, and smiles\n6.30 pm – introduction and talks begin\n7.15 pm – talks finish\, networking\, listening\, saying hello\, and positively lovely people – a nice chilled out time 🙂\n7.45 pm – end of the night – you leave with new contacts and fresh ideas \n——————– \nSupported by Grassroots\, a science and technology innovation hub in central Oxford helping early-stage science and technology entrepreneurs and offering coworking and work spaces as part of Oxford Innovation’s portfolio of centres UK wide. Find out more at https://www.grassrootsworkspace.com\n(Grassroots funded by OSE – Oxford Science Enterprises\, managed on their behalf by Oxford Innovation Limited) \nSupported by Sharp Ahead\, a full service B2B digital marketing agency serving organisations with specialist B2B products and services. Check them out at https://sharpahead.com \n——————–\nAnd finally… \nThis is a donation ticketed event\, with a suggested ticket price of £5-£15. \nWe of course understand that these are tough times\, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford the minimum donation amount\, please reach out to el@themarketingmeetup.com and we’ll find a ticket for you (provided capacity hasn’t already been reached!) 🙂 \nPlease let your marketing friends and colleagues know about this group too\, I hope to build it into a great resource for the community over the coming months and years. Attendance will be taken at this event. If you sign up but don’t show up\, this has a knock on effect on event arrangements. If it happens 3 times\, you’re outta here! This is simply a measure to allow appropriate respect to the organisers\, speakers\, sponsors\, and your fellow community members 🙂\n——————– \n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Challenge Of Scaling Leadership & Culture As An Organisation Grows

But as companies grow\, great leadership becomes harder and harder to deliver. Company vision\, inspiring leadership and company culture must be planned and grown together to truly flourish.

Adam’s impressive prior experience includes Global Talent Engagement and Development Director\, Nielsen. \nLet’s take a closer look at what’s involved in developing leaders\, making communication happen\, and sustaining these as an organization grows. \n\nWhat’s important at any stage for leadership and work culture?\nWhen should developing new leaders be factored into your growth plan?\nWhat does good leadership look like?\nWho are the leaders learning from?\nHow do you foster positive leadership to build a positive work culture?\nHow do you transition from an 8 person team to a 500 person company with multi-building and plan for effective leadership?\n\nBreakfast will be provided and there will be ample opportunities to network with your peers. \n\nLOCATION\n140 Park Drive\, Milton\, England\, GB\, OX14 4SE \n

SUMMARY:Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:Black History Month is a momentous occasion to recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions of black people to British society. It also serves as an opportunity to inspire and empower future generations. This year\, Black History Month will be dedicated to honouring the achievements of black women who are often forgotten\, heroines. We want to amplify their voices and challenge the systems that oppress them.\nBlack people have always been at the forefront of social justice movements\, fighting against oppression and paving the way for change. However\, despite their countless contributions to society\, the achievements of black women in particular\, have too often been overlooked or forgotten. That is why\, this year\, we will be celebrating the exceptional achievements of black women.\nThe theme of ‘Saluting our Sisters’ highlights the crucial role that black women have played in shaping history\, inspiring change\, and building communities. This year’s celebration will showcase pioneering black women who have made remarkable contributions to literature\, music\, fashion\, sport\, business\, politics\, academia\, social and health care\, and more.

SUMMARY:Digital Technology and the Natural Environment
DESCRIPTION:Digital Technology and the Natural Environment\n  \n\n\n\nSpeaker\nProf. Gordon S. Blair\, Head of Environmental Digital Strategy\, UKCEH. \nAgenda\n7:30pm – Presentation begins.\n9:00pm – Event ends. \nSynopsis\nContemporary digital technologies can make a profound impact on our understanding of the natural environment in moving toward sustainable futures. Examples of such technologies included sources of new data (e.g.\, an environmental Internet of Things)\, the ability to storage and process the large datasets that will result from this (e.g.\, through cloud computing)\, and the potential of data science and AI to make sense of these data alongside human experts. \nHowever\, these same trends pose a threat to sustainable futures through\, for example\, the carbon footprint of digital technology and the risks of this escalating through the very trends mentioned above. \nThis talk will explore this ‘tale of two cities’\, reflecting on my experiences of my work at UKCEH where I explore the role of digital innovation in supporting contemporary environmental science\, whilst also being aware of the potential negative impact of such technologies on the very environment we are seeking to understand and steer towards more sustainable futures. \nThe talk will conclude with thoughts on how these two perspectives can be reconciled in Digital Technology and the Natural Environment. \nAbout the speaker\nProf. Gordon Blair \nProf. Gordon Blair is Head of Environmental Digital Strategy at UKCEH. He is also a Distinguished Professor of Distributed Systems at Lancaster University where he holds a part-time post (20%). He is also Co-Director of the Centre of Excellence in Environmental Data Science (CEEDS)\, a joint initiative between UKCEH and Lancaster University. \nHis current research interests focus on the role of digital technology in supporting environmental science. This includes new forms of environmental monitoring and data acquisition\, including the role of Internet of Things technology\, new forms of computational infrastructure to support the storage and processing of such data\, specifically using cloud computing\, and new forms of analysing and making sense of this data using data science and AI. \nHe is particularly interested in the role of virtual labs in supporting this end-to-end pipeline and in enabling a new kind of science that is more open\, collaborative and integrative. Most recently\, through CEEDS\, he has become interested in the role of digital twins in supporting environmental science. \nThis all builds on a strong legacy of research in distributed systems\, having been involved since the inception of the field in the early 1980s. His core research in this area focused on the middleware architectures that underpin complex distributed systems applications and services\, including examination of key distributed properties such as interoperability and how these can be achieved in the complex and dynamic distributed systems of today. \nOur events are for adults aged 16 years and over. \nBCS is a membership organisation.
