Last Thursday I attended the first ever Catalyst awards ceremony at the Imagination Gallery. The Catalyst awards is a new awards ceremony that
recognises the outstanding use of Social media and technology that leads to social change.
The attendees demographic included a good mix of techies, innovators and social media folk.
An hour and a half after the
8.30am champagne reception had started Gordon Brown (Chairman of the Council on Social Action) delivered an articulate and thoughtful speech. Soon after he presented the first award. Once the presentations was over a speed networking event took place in order to help form friendships and future collaborations.
