Byte Night 2008, bigger and better than ever

September 19, 2008

It’s that time of year again and October 3rd will see over 500 people sleeping out in locations around the country in aid of Byte Night. The largest event will be in London where we’ll once again be camping on the Mayor’s lawn on the banks of the Thames. This year, the Byte Night Local concept has spread to Reading, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Manchester where local teams will also be braving the elements.

It’s the IT industry coming together to help combat youth homelessness and we’re once again proud to be the largest single fundraising event for Action for Children who recently re-branded from NCH.

It’s still not too late to join us if you want to take part in a great evening, alternatively, you could just sponsor me to be cold and wet for one night of the year.

Your family nominated for AOP Award

September 10, 2008

Hot on the heels of our gong for “Best Landing Page” at the APA Creative Awards, the Your family site has been nominated for an AOP award in the category of “Best launch”.

Great to be recognised at the digital awards, the one everyone wants to win.  We’re up against some prestigious competition in The Guardian, IPC, Channel 4 and Hearst digital but who knows after last years victory for ZDNet?

Whatever the outcome, it’s always a great night out and a chance to catch up with all the gossip in the on-line publishing world.
