If technology is your thing, perhaps you should have
a look at the Flux Innovation Lounge in London E1.
It offers event space which is perfect for conferences,
meetings, product launches, receptions, team
building and workshop days. Flux work with 20
carefully selected technology partners to ensure the
space has the latest consumer products and
prototypes so that experiences cannot be replicated
elsewhere. Each partner is visionary, pioneering,
creative and experimental.

Snookball is a bizarre new game which is a
crossbreed of billiards and football; where the billiard
balls are replaced by footballs and the cues, by pairs
of shoes. However strange it seems, it is becoming
popular and offers an unusual addition to a
conference break or party. snookball.fr
In our onward quest for new event technology, we
were excited to ‘have a go’ with Loopd at the Meet
the Future event on 9 June at Central Hall
Westminster. Loopd is the latest wearable technology
for events, enhancing audience interaction. There are
lots of special features and benefits, but we like the
badge’s simple proposition; no downloads, QRs or
log ins! loopd.com
