Own The Conversation - Issue 73

Have you considered why mentoring might work? Crowdsourcing 2024 events and lots of jobs!

Oct 08, 2023

Colleagues,

As you know, last week’s edition didn’t go out as I was in the middle of moving my family back into our home after 6 months out while flood damage was being prepared. Thanks for your patience and your lovely messages of support.

It’s great to see jobs coming back to Bot Jobs - check out the list below of the latest roles up on the site.

Yet again, we’ve got a great week ahead of events and networking opportunities. I haven’t added meetups to the event list below, but the London Conversation Design meetup is happening this Friday, so if you’re in town for the Chatbot Summit, then stick around for a great lunchtime meetup on Friday.

We are fast heading into the last few months of the year, so check out the remaining events to attend in the events section below. Also if anyone is hosting anything in 2024 (meetups, webinars, conferences, summits etc.), I will start crowdsourcing global events in our space. So start adding them to the bottom of this sheet, we might as well get ready for the next year 👊

So anyway, let’s get on with things.

If you think your connections would benefit from subscribing to this newsletter, feel free to share it.

And if you are coming here off the back of a social share, or stumbled across it accidentally and think it’s something you need to be subscribed to (why wouldn’t you!?!) then feel free to subscribe here:

So, without further ado, let's dive in and Own The Conversation!

To another great week ahead,

Martyn
