Yesterday, someone said that 11th May was “months away!” It isn’t. It’s exactly forty-four days away. Why am I counting? Well, because on Monday, 11th May, we officially launch the Savvy Business Community. The foundations of the Community are already in place, in the shape of the core team and founding professional members – whose numbers look set to increase over the next six weeks; but on 11th, we get to celebrate the fact that all the effort put into the company and the Community to date is paying off. We launched the company very quietly last July. We’re going to make a lot more noise about the launch of the new website and the Community – starting now. As of yesterday, the date, time and place are settled:
Date: 11th May 2009
Time: 6:00 PM
Place: The Wine Tun, 2/6 Cannon Street, London EC4.
In case you’re wondering (as I was) a tun of wine is eight gallons. I don’t expect to get through that much on the night – not before the presentations anyway!
It’s an “invitation only” event –so if you’d like to join us but aren’t yet on the mailing list, please, let me know. I’ll post a copy of the invitation here when it goes out.
Of course it’s a business event – but for me, it’s more than that. It’s the culmination of two years’ work to effect a major career change (into something I’m convinced I’ve always been much better designed for than law) and the chance publicly to acknowledge and thank the people who have supported me through the transition, helped me lay the all-important foundations for Savvy’s future – and who will hopefully be part of the company and the Community for a long time to come. If that sounds very personal, I make no apologies – it is.
