The Founder’s Room at the Brighton Dome, set up for an event. The room features round tables covered with black tablecloths and surrounded by red chairs. The walls are light-coloured with framed photographs, tall windows with blinds, and overhead strip lighting creating a bright, professional atmosphere.

This was just before the wonderful Jessica and Emma opened the doors for my workshop "We're not Spotify" last week at Motacon. It ended up being such a great workshop!
Thanks again for everybody who attended, and learned and helped others learn. I'd love to hear if you took anything to try at work, and how that went.

Brilliant shot. Fascinating to see the workshop space before it was a full house. Kudos to Jessica and Emma for ensuring they had that room ready to rock.

Kat Obring
They were total rock stars, so much gratitude for all the help!
