Phorm CEO joins Manchester panel

We're delighted to confirm that Phorm's CEO, Hugo Drayton (he of Electronic Telegraph fame) is joining the panel when Chinwag Live hits Manchester.

In our first event outside of London, Chinwag's joining forces with the folks at Manchester Digital for a panel looking at User Centered Advertising on Tuesday 15th April at Cube on Portland Street, Manchester.

The recent controversy surrounding Phorm's techniques is sure to feature as the panel examines how the future of online advertising is being shaped by technological advances and the way social media is changing usage.

Also on the panel is Priya Prakash from Flirtomatic who brings a different perspective. Priya's work on the BBC's iPlayer and more recently, the development of Sugarscape for Hachette Filipacchi give her an insight into how publishers are tackling the changing media landscape.

A limited number of early bird tickets are available at £20 + VAT, including drinks and snacks. A bunch of Chinwaggers will be in Manchester, hope to see you there.
