I want to take a few minutes just to say a few words about Altitude, which took place on the 27th February 2013.

Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone that attended our first event, especially those who bought tickets early on and put their trust in us to provide a decent line up and an enjoyable night.
As it turns out, the line up was better than I could have ever expected. I cannot express how much it means to me to have met people I've both admired and given me inspiration over the past few years.
So to Robin, Mike, Sarah, Jeremy and Paul - Thank you. Thank you for taking time to be part of Altitude, for your kindness to everyone involved, your tweets before and after and being there at our first event. It means so much.
To our sponsors, without these guys we simply could not have created such an enjoyable event. For you to put your trust in us and support us this early on means everything.

A final thank you to everyone who helped out on the night, you guys are lifesavers and we owe you big time!
Podcasts of the interviews will be available as soon as we can publish them. Stay tuned.
Altitude was one of the most exciting, nervous and ultimately satisfying nights of my career. And I cannot wait to announce the next one.
See you soon.
Dan
