This month, Adriana Lukas will introduce and talk about a new project for customer data liberation called MINT (My Information, Not Theirs).

The MINT initiative was set up to ‘liberate customer data’ from company systems and organisational silos. It assists organisations that directly interact with customers or users, and retain data about transactions, to make purchase history data available to download at no charge, in open formats and fit for further use. The targeted organisations include, but are not limited to, retailers, utililties, telecommunications, public sector etc. More details at the meeting.

Also, Doc Searls is in town and plans to come to the meeting!

Instructions for arrival:

Their building is immediately at the south end of Blackfriars Bridge on the Tate Modern side of the road. If you get lost, call Nick's phone (020 7890 9034 or 07958 516967) or call me at 07876757129.

Once you enter the building, please report to security in reception directly in front of you. They need a list of people coming beforehand, so please do sign up as soon as you can so we can provide them with the number of attendees.

It is a long way to the boardroom so would those who aim to make it for 6pm congregate in the lobby. We'll then take everyone to the meeting room. If you are going to be later, please let us know and somebody will pick you up. Being late without notification makes it unfair for the person waiting downstairs until everyone gets there and missing the discussion upstairs. With a bit of consideration this can be easily avoided. Best thing is to text me or someone at the meeting you know to let us know when you get there and somebodey will come and escort you to the room.
