Every month, BIMA and Internet People, host an exclusive event called Top Cats. The goal of the event is to forge stronger ties and greater collaboration between the Internet start up, mobile, interactive marketing, TV and advertising communities.
BIMA would like to thank Microsoft for their kind sponsorship of Mays gathering of the industrys Top Cats. There are no formalities apart from a short introduction to the evening and we don’t have speakers. It’s an informal gathering of likeminded people, many of whom end up collaborating on very interesting projects.
Who qualifies to be a Top Cat?
- Established Agencies = Founder/CEO/Chair
- Technology Providers & Brands (big companies such as Microsoft and the BBC) = Director/Head or other senior decision maker
- Startups = Founder/CEO/Chair + secured VC funding or have a seriously good track record
- Other = Publishers, Editors, Authors, TV Personalities, Establish Journalists, you get the picture…
This exclusive event isn't intended to alienate non Top Cats, it's just one way in which BIMA delivers different types of events that are relevant to different people. If you feel you meet the criterion above, please get in touch with janice.cable@bima.co.uk.
