Two thoughts I had after todays talk about how Birmingham could stop talking and start doing:

1. Has anyone from BCC been to London to ask CEOs of Digi Companies what it would take to get them to move their businesses to Birmingham?

2. Is it time for a Digital Birmingham conference in London? The feedback would be enlightening

I believe Q1 would allow Brum to get narrow down the actual USP it could use as a hook to attract business and Q2 would allow Brum to start to Market itself to the rest of the UK

Econsultancy has organised days where you can go and sell yourself to Londons digital glitterati – these would provide exceptional reach at low cost

A 3rd, less related idea was that if Birmingham wants to develop Digital Business, it should dump the term Creative.
