Just over two weeks to go to the Be2Awards and @Be2Talks event (at London's Building Centre on 26 September, during London Social Media Week), and we are firming up the speaker programme still further....

Our next confirmed speaker, Carlton Reid, is a leading authority on cycling and the built environment and will be talking about the interface between cyclists and other road users, and the role that social media can play in communications between these groups.

Carlton has been writing about bicycles and travel for 20 years. He has written for many cycling and travel magazines and UK newspapers including The Guardian and The Independent, and is the author of several books on travel and cycling. He is executive editor of BikeBiz.com, editor of Bikehub.co.uk, Quickrelease.tv and iPayRoadTax.com. Author of the acclaimed Bike to Work Book, his latest project is Roads were not built for Cars. Carlton will present our Be2Bike Keynote on the growing application and importance of social media in the world of cycling.

We are delighted to announce that Remit Consulting is sponsoring the "Best mobile AEC application" category in the 2012 Be2Awards.

"Currently, the most exciting trend in systems is Software as a Service – SaaS. It is this which will drive people’s ability to work in an agile, flexible, way and create opportunities, link disconnected parts of our industry – not to mention saving time and money.
