Creative ideas everywhere!Last week was one of complete creative immersion for our team as we covered all three days of the annual Design Indaba extravaganza. Click through to our special section to browse our daily highlights, favourite talks and galleries of the best moments and quotes from the 54 speakers that kept us entertained, inspired and on the edge of our seats. Also keep an eye on your inbox for our special edition Design Indaba newsletter later today! Speaking of special edition newsletters, we sent out our #BizTrends2017 comprehensive overview last week, encouraging you to download the full PDF and take your time going through the top trends set to shape the industry over the coming months. Do so now if you didn't get around to it last week. On the topic of creative inspiration, you can look forward to feedback from Scan Display, attending EuroShop live in Germany from 5 to 9 March – it's held every three years and is the largest retail trade fair, with daily keynotes and global speaker sessions. There's also my exclusive interview on the importance of true diversity with FCB's global CCO, Susan Credle, who was in town last week for the agency network's Global Leadership Conference. We also find out all about the new, independent Ideas/Idees magazine, which is back on shelf and goes on sale under new ownership from today, Monday, 6 March. Lastly, don't forget that March is #BrandManagerMonth on Biz, so you can expect tips and insights from those at the forefront of marketing excellence. Pour yourself a cuppa and get stuck in!
