Animation

**Join us at the monthly late night opening at the Cartoon Museum** The Cartoon Museum is dedicated to preserving the best of British cartoons, caricatures, comics and animation. The museum houses a collection of over 6000 original cartoons and comics, and a library of over 8000 comics and books, documenting the history of British comics from the 18th century to the present day. Main exhibition - [The Future Was Then](https://www.cartoonmuseum.org/whats-on-exhibitions/the-future-was-then) This Autumn, The Cartoon Museum looks to the future – and the past – to explore comics that went beyond the final frontier and predicted what humanity would look like in years to come. Will the Daleks invade in the year 2150? Did the space travel of Dan Dare or the dystopia of V for Vendetta come true in the 1990s? What will our future look like? Take a journey through time and space and answer these questions and more! **MEET DETAILS:** **5.50pm Meet just outside the museum** **6pm: Enter Museum** Address: 63 Wells St, London, W1A 3AE Post Event Pub visit (optional) The Blue Posts, 81 Newman St, London W1T 3ET **TICKETS:** **Book your ticket** [here](https://www.cartoonmuseum.org/visit-us) (The museum has asked us all to buy before we attend , as we’re a large group and will hold up the counter - NOTE YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY ANY EXTRA TICKET OPTIONS, AS WE WILL NOT BE TAKING PART IN THE TALK AVAILABLE ON THE NIGHT - Please buy a normal general admission pass - these tickets are an annual pass.)

**\*You will need to purchase a ticket in order to attend this event - see below\*** Join us at the Royal Opera House for a performance of Richard Jones' production of Mussorgsky's classic opera with Bryn Terkel as Boris. Other members of the cast include Adam Palka, Andrii Kymach, Jamez McCorkle & John Daszak. **SYNOPSIS** Boris Godunov has been crowned Tsar of Russia in a glittering coronation. But his path to power was bloody. As famines spark unrest, Boris becomes increasingly haunted by his role in the murder of the 9-year-old heir to the throne, Dmitry. Meanwhile, in neighbouring Poland, a young man spots an opportunity to seize power. With Russia in turmoil and his sanity unravelling, can Tsar Boris cling to power? Or will the ghosts of his past return to wreak revenge once and for all? Approx performance time is 2 hours and 15 minutes, without interval. **TICKETS** Tickets for this performance can be purchased here. [https://www.rbo.org.uk/checkout/interstitial/66364](https://www.rbo.org.uk/checkout/interstitial/66364) At time of writing, prices range from £12-£251, with fairly good availability. I will be sitting in the Amphitheatre, Row D, Seat 52 if anyone wants to sit nearby. **SOCIAL** After the show, we'll congregate in the Bow Street foyer next to the statue in the centre of the room before heading off for a drink, (probably at The Craft Beer Co on Endell Street - other drinks are available there!). Please note, depending on work I might only be able to stop for a quick pint - sadly there's no weekend or Friday night performances! I will be providing updates in the comments section of this page on the day itself. I would recommend you download the Meetup app to your smartphones, so you can access these quickly & easily.

Shaping our future with AI. Creating opportunity through AI fluency, connection and community. No jargon. No hype. No confusing terminology. **Join us for our next in-person meetup in London on Thursday January 29th.** This month we're meeting the authors of the latest book published by Harvard Business Review: The Octopus Organisation - A Guide To Thriving In A World Of Continuous Transformation. We'll have signed copies of the book available as prizes on the night! Sticking with the theme of transformation we're also excited to be hosting Masha Gaganova, a transformation leader with refreshingly grounded and practical advice about leading people through change! **Where and When?** * Thursday, January 29th * Doors open at 18:00 * Talks start at 19:00 * Tessl HQ, 210 Pentonville Rd, London N1 9JY, UK **The Octopus Organisation: Meet the authors** In this fireside conversation we discover what an octopus organisation is and learn how to thrive in a world of continuous transformation. With AI driving transformation across businesses and teams of all sizes and industries, what can we learn from these experts in transformation at scale? Drawing on their experience at companies such as Amazon and McDonald's and work with hundreds of global companies, authors Phil Le-Brun and Jana Werner show you how to break away from the broken model of transformation and embrace continuous change. **Phil Le-Brun:** Phil leads the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Executives in Residence team, comprising former CXOs who provide board and C-suite advisory. Prior to AWS, Phil held senior roles in McDonald’s Corporation including VP for Global Technology Development and International Chief Information Officer and has been recognised as one of the top 100 UK-based CIOs. **Jana Werner:** Jana Werner is an Executive in Residence at Amazon Web Services, where she guides the executive teams of Fortune 500 companies in building adaptive customer-centric organizations. Her academic background in uncertainty dynamics grounds her practical advice for leaders navigating complex environments and building resilient organizations. **Talk: Wondering how to make a transformation work? Have lots of cups of tea** (Masha Gaganova, Transformation Consultant) In real organisations, change doesn’t stick through frameworks, roadmaps, or shiny tools. It sticks when someone takes the time to build trust one-to-one, name what’s happening, and hold the boundary when discomfort shows up. In this talk, Masha shares patterns from leading transformation in complex, high-stakes environments from digital and AI adoption to new ways of working. Why sustainable change creates temporary discomfort. Why softening the message kills momentum. Why people don’t resist change, they resist being left out of it. **Masha Gagonova:** Masha Gaganova is an international transformation leader, Fractional Change Partner, and speaker with 15+ years driving strategy and change across pharma, medtech, healthtech, and the public sector. Her work always starts with the end user, often a patient, and connects strategy, technology, and human behaviour to deliver measurable impact. **Code of Conduct** This event has a code of conduct that you can [review here.](https://aifortherestofus.live/code-of-conduct) **Providing Your Name and Email** To register for this event you'll be asked to provide your full name and email address.

***🐵 Leave those damn monkeys alone… or they might just show you how human they can be!*** **👋 Hey guys!** It looks like we’ve got another monkey going wild on the big screen, and as a huge fan of last year’s **[The Monkey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=husMGbXEIho)**, I’m totally down for another one going mad, especially if it means we might tick him off! **Primate** is the new horror film by **Johannes Roberts**, and it follows a tropical vacation gone awry when Ben, a family’s adopted chimpanzee, is bitten by a rabid animal and suddenly turns violent.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
