More TSB metadata funding events: Manchester and Edinburgh

A busy week for me coming up on the metadata-evangelism front, in my ongoing role as the Creative Industries Knowledge Network's Metadata Champion. We've got the two final Partnering for Innovation events of 2010 happening in Manchester and Edinburgh, and once again we'll be looking at the Technology Strategy Board's £5million funding call (coming up spring 2011).

The Manchester event is happening tomorrow, 30 November 30 at the Cornerhouse.  We'll be kicking off at 10 and running through til 2. I'll be hosting and will be joined by the TSB's Jeremy Silver (with whom you'll be able to book one-on-one sessions about the call), BBC Research's Michael Sparks, Onteca's Jon Weatherall (who will talk about his own experience of successfully bidding for TSB funding) and Tools of Directing's Simon Phillips. 

Then on Wednesday (1 December) we'll be in Edinburgh, at Inspace. Again I'll be hosting and this time presenting as well. I'll be joined by the Creative KTN's John Cass and Chris Jackson, from metadata and broadcasting specialists Metabroadcast. John will be taking care of the one-on-ones on this occasion.

There's still the odd place left for both events; if you're interested, register here. If you can't make it, I'm told the Manchester event will be webcast on the TSB Connect site, so keep a look out!
