Welcome to the third edition of The Debrief,

As per usual, The Debrief brings you a deeper dive on three interesting stories from the past month. But it also brings something else too: lovely discounts.

The newly reformatted Insider Track at the bottom of this email offers every paid subscriber money off two business conferences taking place before the end of the year.

VGIM’s biggest fans will be able to receive 15% off the Nexus business conference taking place in Dublin on the 25th-26th September, while also receiving a handy 10% off The AI and Games Conference in London on Friday 8th November too.

But the only way you can access these savings is by signing up as a VGIM Insider - making the value of supporting my work, well, even more valuable to you.

Grab yourself a year of VGIM Insider for just £50 by hitting the button below to get your discounts.

Oh, and if that wasn’t enough reason to buy, you also get to access all the rest of the insight I have in The Debrief below too. Handy, eh?
