I’ve been thinking for a while that it would be great to set up a design / interactive conference in Bristol. It’s a perfect location, with a small centre, lively web community, lots of great venues around the docks.

But to do it well needs some heavyweights behind it… Bristol Media people have been out to SXSW this year and have been talking about some possibilities on their tumblr.

Maybe with the likes of Mike Bennett of Bristol Media, Benjamin Hostler of Beef, Hazel Grian of Licorice Media, Andy Parkhouse of Team Rubber and Clare Reddington of iShed, it could happen. It would be great to tempt people away from London for a few days. And great for Bristol’s profile as digital city.
