Loved being at @gtiaofficial.bsky.social ChannelCon EMEA Conference this week, I was lucky enough to meet Sir Bob Geldof but also Sir Stephen Fry who is very tall, really engaging and just lovely.

Meanwhile, @holliewhittles.bsky.social and Peter Cheese from @cipd.bsky.social emphasised the importance of essential digital skills.
