\n Editors' Note - From Sasha \n \nSXSW – one of the world’s biggest media, creative and arts events – came to London this week. Known as South-by-London. \n \nI was blown away by the keynote fireside chat with Konrad Kay and Mickey Down, creators and writers of BBC / HBO’s Industry. If you liked Succession, Billions or remember This Life you’ll love this. They’re making season 4 right now. \n \n \nAlso, let us know about local events or local news. We curate our content to keep it a 5-minute read, so can't include everything we're sent. \n \nYou can now get a guaranteed (paid) listing for local events or local lowdown/news items. \n \nAnd email us with any projects or ideas you'd like us to write about. \n \n
