Kind of like buses \[not hydrogen ones, they are all broken down and getting written off 🥴\] - no posts for ages, then a bunch in a week! Part of that flurry of activity has been building up the Sura Insights collection before they move over to a paid subscription. Recap on those here - expect another 2 or 3 next week!

OK, yes I know the quote isn't exactly correct, its 'he will come' but in reality, 'they' is much better, and useful for building the future: ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d6/84/d6846eb6-a40f-44ba-8892-5a57f3a2df2f/content/images/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-15-at-14.19.15-1.png) OK, now thats cleared up, what are we talking about again? > referring to the idea that if you put in the work and do something you're passionate about, it will find an audience I often roll out Costner as a hero of the transition and the meme at the top of this post at my events and talks. Apply it to whatever you like - renewables, innovation, launching a newsletter, hosting an event....well ok, you still need product-market fit and all that good stuff, but you get the idea! --- ### What did I build then? Sometimes you just need to build it... We held **Climate Tech Impact\_South Event 04** a couple of weeks back. People came, including our usual Southampton City Cabinet members. Along with the growing ecosystem, new a existing audience members, the [National Oceanography Centre](https://www.noc.ac.uk/?ref=content.konfab.io) sent 3 speakers! 👏 Some cool innovation & IP lawyers, [D Young & Co LLP](https://www.dyoung.com/en?ref=content.konfab.io) sponsored us. ✅ Our AI event intelligence partners, [Lorefully](https://www.lorefully.com/?ref=content.konfab.io), captured all that good dialogue in the talks and breakouts. This is the report output - dive on in and have a read. It's a long one, so grab a cuppa. ☕️ Would be great to get some feedback - what impression and insights does it give you to an in-person event that you didn't attend?

I teamed up with God's House Tower, which hosted Event 04 for us, to host a **People's Emergency Briefing**. [National Emergency Briefing on climate & natureNational Emergency Briefing | The UK’s leading climate and nature experts brief MP’s on the risks, impacts and solutions to the climate emergency![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d6/84/d6846eb6-a40f-44ba-8892-5a57f3a2df2f/content/images/icon/bHDBqCUjgsTb3aQg04S4MGYBXs.png)![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d6/84/d6846eb6-a40f-44ba-8892-5a57f3a2df2f/content/images/thumbnail/kEx7sc7KEWvwfm9QgZQwbkHQ.jpg)](https://www.nebriefing.org/?ref=content.konfab.io) You have probably seen the **National Emergency Briefing**, a 1,200 invitational to Westminster, trying to instigate change and drive government policy on climate, nature, flooding, energy, food and water. Stick a pin in the map, host one yourself with your local community: ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d6/84/d6846eb6-a40f-44ba-8892-5a57f3a2df2f/content/images/2026/05/PEB-Southampton-Poster_1-1.jpeg) Luckily, a lecturer in climate science from the University of Southampton has volunteered to come along and support my hosting efforts. 😄 --- ### What's next though? That event I mentioned in London, [Reset Connect](https://www.reset-connect.com/london?ref=content.konfab.io), is coming up fast, 6 weeks to go. Built the team of panelists, got Lorefully onboard, just need an audience now. 🤔 ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d6/84/d6846eb6-a40f-44ba-8892-5a57f3a2df2f/content/images/2026/05/Screenshot-2026-05-15-at-14.38.45-1.png) Geothermal x Heat Networks - Panel Session + Roundtable I have a VIP invite code, 100% free entry and access to this - if you can get to London and fancy coming and getting involved, let me know! --- There was also this: if you can help a guy out...

Who knows what's next in events? I am working on something with a client for an autumn event; stayed tuned for more on that as it develops. 🤐 Want to talk about some support with an event to drive engagement and traction for your business, industry, or ecosystem - hit me up! **Why am I telling you all this, anyway?** > People and connections matter. In-person events matter. That's how things get done: bridges get built, silos get broken down, and long-term relationships with a deeper connection are made. And guess what, AI is not taking over in-person events anytime soon. 😅 ![](https://media.tenor.com/Fc-NclJO8OMAAAAC/robot-go-upstairs.gif) --- Whatever it is, just build it - make something positive happen. 🙌 That's it from me! Let's keep pushing forward - remember, the momentum is unstoppable despite everything you might see and hear! 🌍 Kane --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d6/84/d6846eb6-a40f-44ba-8892-5a57f3a2df2f/content/images/2025/08/Earth-on-Fire_javier-miranda-7bnvNN3R_eo-unsplash.jpg) ## Final destination?
