Leon Benjamin is the author of a blog and book called Winning by Sharing, which is "a collection of true stories combined with market research and analysis about the future of work, how profoundly it will affect people in the next decade, and how this will take most people by surprise". Leaon was one of three people who made opening presentations to the event.

The other day I blogged a piece about the challenges of global warming and energy deficit, based on coversations with my futurist friend David Greenop: When friends say "we've got problems" you listen harder . I was trying to make the point that we take most notice of those we know and trust.
