…was a roaring success. Thank you to everyone who made it possible – the wonderful Mark Palmer from Maverick Planet, and everyone at Adam Street, who made us feel most welcome and gave us access to a great space for the event. My personal favourites from the night include a new MMORG called Football Superstars (thanks to Martin Kelly from Infectious Media for that one) and a spectacular ARG from Korea called Nurien (brought to us by Jim who works/consults into the Korean government).
We’ve posted some images from the evening (very moody lighting), and many of the links that were discussed are listed in the right-hand column of the events page.
Thanks to everyone that attended. If you have any feedback on how we can make the next Laptopdance even better, please let us know.
For those who’d like to attend a future event, we’ll be announcing the next event date soon. Email us if you’d like to pop along.

Iain founded RMM in 2006, with the objective of providing good, strategic advice across all areas of digital and social media. Nowadays, the focus is entirely social and involves the provision of more than just advice – insight, inspiration and expertise in social media. Iain leads the strategy development and training teams on most client projects.
He specialises in leading client strategy projects in a number of sectors, including finance and gambling, where RMM has conducted studies into social behaviour in highly regulated environments. He also leads projects for travel sector clients, a sector in which RMM works in partnership with eCRM sector specialist, Spike Marketing. They work together across a number of clients, most recently including Neilson Holidays, Thomas Cook’s ski and active holidays division.
Prior to RMM, Iain spent five years helping to run the web design business, Tonic, winning and managing accounts such as Vodafone, GE, GAP, MTV and Barclaycard. Before that he worked at Tribal DDB London, working on Volkswagen before heading up the Victor Chandler, Sony Europe and Guardian accounts. And before that he had a colourful career in music promotions, running the annual Soho Jazz Festival in 1997.
Iain spends quite a large amount of time trying and failing to explain to his long-suffering wife why he really loves golf, seventies hard rock and eighties pop. She remains none the wiser.
Great event – thanks for hosting it!
A great chance to overload ones thinking about what’s out there. Suggestions for imporvment ? Bring it out here to Oxfordshire…then my commute will be much shorter.
