Tuesday felt like seven days in one and so it is no wonder that I find myself awake when I should be asleep and asleep when I should be awake … or is that just the time zone or the drink, one asks? So now it's Wednesday and day three of SIBOS.  A few more…

Not surprisingly I’ve now turned in from the conference for the day absolutely knackerood. After the 10k marathon of going up and down from ground to third floor and back all day, between the two exhibit halls, conference rooms, plenary and breakout sessions, toilets and you name it, me feet are falling off.

Innotribe is all about visions of the next generation of banking and is specifically debating the role of cloud computing, mashups and crowdsourcing.
