Tom Ball

Near Desk

Originally a hardware engineer before migrating to software / web development. Tom built a 25 person web development firm (CD9) and a dotcom (DomainAudit) - learning how to build technology.

Tom then spent seven years helping banks and IT companies explain their strategy, learning more about strategy and how to apply technology to solve business problems (Cognac).

Tom is now taking everything he has learnt to take on a difficult problem, engage disparate communities and with the best geeks he's met, build the technology to enable it (NearDesk).

For fun, he still has a bar and a boardroom on a bus (AllABoardroom), a treehouse in a bedroom and organises events to bring up to 1,000 great people together (Entretain/OpenSoho).

Felix Godden

AlphaSphere

AlphaSphere me teaser is an electronic music instrument

With this new product nu desine have taken the core technology that makes the AlphaSphere unique, and simplified it around around a core inner frame. It may have lost the modularity that makes the nexus and elite series unique pieces of contemporary engineering, but it retains the core technical features that our users have come to love from the AlphaSphere family of instruments.

That means fully responsive & tactile, velocity and pressure sensitive pads in an ergonomic spherical design is now available for under £150. Nu desine have also overhauled AlphaLive to allow for this newly simplified user interface.

The Venue

Tech Talks #13 is being held at The Engine Shed. One which we feel suits the event perfectly due to the tech hub it sits amongst. The entrance to the venue is just passed Caffe Gusto on the approach to Temple Meads station. Take yourself up the stairs and through the glass door on the left where we'll be waiting with your badge and a coffee.
