Effective menu planning is essential for a first-rate party, and the team behind SlatorCon London 2018 did a great job selecting recipes, shopping for ingredients and prepping the dishes for theirs. What makes Slator conferences special is that they don’t lay on a sumptuous five-course dinner of a conference that leaves the guests bloated – instead, they present a tantalising tapas menu where each dish is served at a speed tailored for experienced connoisseurs. The spread needs to be consumed fast, but there is ample opportunity afterwards to digest it along with the other guests.

Goose barnacles are the most expensive seafood in the world – delicious but extremely hard to come by. They have that in common with ZOO Digital, a media localisation company in a niche market where the demand for high-quality services is currently growing faster than the supply. MT is yet to make its mark on the entertainment localisation market, where the content is often nuanced, contextual dialogue with plenty of humour, sarcasm and colloquial or jumbled-up grammar thrown in. Stuart’s company, powered by its own cloud-based technology, is experiencing 70 per cent year-on-year growth.
