Just got back home from spending a successful full day at Being Digital organised by my friends Simon Grice and Tony Fish from MashupEvents. The event broadly focussed on covering various web 2.0 topics through panel discussions and providing a show case for European StartUps to demo.

I am proud to say that the North was represented by two Northern Stars, Tim Panton's Phonefromhere and Webmission08 company edocr. The Demo hall was sponsored by another Northerner, Stewart Townsend from Sun Microsystems. Among the audience was our own David Hawdale.

I personally had the opportunity to showcase edocr as well as talk about the Northern Digital StartUps to VCs and other entrepreneurs. Among those was Doughty Hanson who promised to attend a forthcoming panel discussion in Manchester.
