About this keynote
Firstly, a big thank you to George the event organiser for inviting me to be the keynote, and for putting on such a spectacular event in such a spectacular location.
Sponsored by Atlassian, one of the world's fastest growing enterprise software "Unicorns," Clearvisions' "BBQ in the Clouds 2016" event at London's prestigious, and often surprising, Kensington Rooftop Gardens was awash with great barbecue food, cocktails and networking opportunities. And flamingos.

Held over the course of a day the event, set against a cloudless azure sky under a burning summers sun in a garden fit for royalty, gentry and multi-nationals on a rooftop in London, was an exploration and conversation around the implications of the cloud and emerging technology on todays and tomorrows business strategies.
