This was the first time techmesh had held an event in Hull and what an exceptional turnout it was!
techmesh: Hull was organised with support from Jon Moss at Hull Digital and Hull University Business School.
The evening proceeded with refreshments, food and plenty of networking as the other delegates arrived. Guests where then encouraged to take a seat in the presentation room where I (Gary Rowbotham, techmesh Programme Manger) introduced techmesh and the many benefits of becoming a member. The agenda then moved to Nick Riley, Director of the Logistics Technology Group, who gave a synopsis surrounding Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) implementation in logistics and freight handling. An interesting insight from the presentation was that a RFID transmitter can be equivalent in size to a grain of rice!
Mike Harlington, a techmesh sponsor, introduced telecoms company MediaSat3, who are striving to provide an alternative telecoms provider in the Hull area. Mike discussed how MediaSat3 are negotiating the use of new telecom satellites which would allow remote speeds of 100mb download and 10mb upload. Once MediaSat3 services are fully implemented they will be capable of moving an impressive 1 million terabytes of data every second.
The presentations were rounded off with an introduction from Jon Moss at Hull Digital, who discussed how he hopes to expand the digital community in Hull. Jon encouraged the audience to attend the highly anticipated event ‘Hull Digital Question Time’ on the 26th May at the Donald Roy Theatre in Hull. The event is an opportunity for delegates to join the conversation and hear about current topics that matter in digital, technology and the web.
After the presentation session, guests were invited to look at the Hull University Business School technology showcase. The showcase was exceptional and in some cases breathtaking; the enormous 3D TV that greeted visitors as they entered the room was amazing!
The techmesh team would like to thank everyone that helped to make techmesh: Hull a success, including: Jon Moss at Hull Digital, Hull University Business School for the venue and Nick Riley for introducing the audience to future technologies in RFID.
Join us at the next techmesh event on 25th May - focussed towards Cloud Computing and using Software-as-a-Service. The event will feature keynote speakers from Microsoft and Liquid Accounts. For further information visit http://techmesh.org/events/view/55

Following the success of previous launch events in Leeds and Sheffield, the meeting last night at York University Science Park Innovation Centre was a definite win for delegates, speakers and techmesh, alike. The York event was held in association with IT and Digital York.
techmesh - supported by Yorkshire Forward, aims to become the largest and most focused IT and Telecoms business network organisation in Yorkshire and Humberside.
Gary Rowbotham, techmesh programme manager, introduced the agenda and explained the potential benefits of being a Techmesh member and / or associate. Current associates of techmesh include: Green Communications, Inter-vention, Lee & Priestley, Knowles Warwick and MFL Science & Technology.
The first speaker of the evening was Dan Croxen-John, from Applied Web Analytics, his presentation explained how extracting value from a web presence was an evolutionary process, best achieved from regular analysis and on-going assessment.
Ian Newall from Huthwaite International, the sales improvement training company, shared an insight into the benefits of Spin Selling and business application. Ian is offering all techmesh members a 15% discount on Huthwaites Spin Selling courses.
Finally, Marcus Robinson, the founder of MR-ICT, a York and Leeds based company offering outsourced ICT support, discussed how he intends to utilise his techmesh membership to benefit his business and shared his thoughts on the advantages of joining techmesh.
Overall the event was a great success with sufficient opportunities to network after listening to the speakers, all this including great food and wine! The focus is now on the next techmesh event in Hull on 29th April at Hull University Business School.
