Barely two weeks after a fun packed few days in San Francisco for LiNC, Lithium’s team took to the road to share the stories, insights, thought leadership and fresh new products for a series of local European gatherings, with the penultimate event being held at the Courthouse Hotel in London on the 22nd of June.
Missed the event or would like to catch-up on key highlights of the day? Worry not, we’ve got you covered!
Lithium’s CEO @RobT kicked-off our busy afternoon by sharing an inspiring keynote around disruption in the tech industry.

As a direct illustration from Rob’s thought provoking keynote, Manila McLean from Tesco Bank’s Community then talked to us around how they managed to launch and grow their community in the challenging financial services industry - where disruption and a growth mindset are key for success.
Empowering community by letting them champion change. That I can back. Good job tesco bank #LiEurope16

Community in a highly regulated sector

Learning about @tescobankhelp's community when success is much more than call deflection #LiEurope16
Peer 2 peer, rewards and recognition, engaging content. Boxes ticked from Tesco Bank. #LiEurope16

Great story where the bank is tying #community to not just self-support but also sales/service #LiEurope16 #cmgrldn https://t.co/i8odalTVBE

Our very own CMO @KatyK then questions the audience around the role and opportunity of big data in today’s business, introducing Lithium’s brand new campaign “Be 3D”.
Big Data in community is something that fascinates me so looking forward to this talk by @Katykeim #LiEurope16 pic.twitter.com/w6DnjsEFkP

"Big data? If your company is collecting loads of data and not doing anything with it, then it's useless." @Katykeim #LiEurope16

52% are more willing to share personal info with a brand/company if they can deliver a more personal experience. @Katykeim #LiEurope16

@SunilR, Chief Technology Officer at Lithium, took us through the key innovations of the Lithium product range, mainly Profile Plus for a personalised experience on the Community platform, and Lithium Reach - our new product designed with social media marketeers and for social publishing.
Profile Plus: Personalised experience is vital when dealing at volume. #LiEurope16
— James Woods (@JamesWoodsSM) 22 June 2016
After #LiEurope16 yesterday I really do think that Profile Plus could be a game changer. Time to get our insights guys involved...
— Gregg Baker (@baker011) 23 June 2016
But really, nothing better than seeing the products in the flesh, right? Senior Consultant and digital-marketeer-in past-lives @PeteC took us through Lithium Reach, our new social media publishing tool aimed at completing Lithium Response for a holistic approach to social engagement
I wish I had Lithium Reach in past lives. Seriously. I'm biased, but I know our own @JaniceKim100 can testify. #LiEurope16
— Charlotte K. (@Tyzaa_) 22 June 2016
@Tyzaa_ I may be biased too, but I would refuse to drink our own champagne if it didn't taste good. Bad champagne = hangover #LithiumReach
— Janice Kim (@JaniceKim100) 22 June 2016
I do like the superfans dashboard of the new Reach tool by @LithiumTech #LiEurope16 pic.twitter.com/LJ0Aevj9oO
— Luis Rodriguez (@luisete) 22 June 2016
And to close the loop, Darren Jones, Social Media Lead at The Post Office UK shows us how Lithium Reach and Response were instrumental in their latest campaign around Travel Money.
Looking forward to sharing how @PostOffice is using @LithiumTech Reach & Response for our Travel Money campaign at #LiEurope16 later 💷🎆💵
— Darren Jones (@darrenianjones) 22 June 2016
Didn't know that @PostOffice is Europe's largest retailer (11.5k branches; 20m customer visits; 47m transactions/week) #LiEurope16
— Christie Fidura (@cfidurauk) 22 June 2016
Love how @PostOffice identified which of their business goals were addressed by social strategy. #LiEurope16 📬🙌⭐️ pic.twitter.com/Dpm43tHaC9

We closed the session by highlighting a few outstanding EMEA Lithy submissions, and gave a special spotlight award to Deutsche Telekom’s Hilft Community for outstanding results. If you haven’t yet, do check out the Lithy submissions for:
Congratulations again to all our amazing EMEA customers for their inspirational Lithy submissions.
The day ended on the rooftops of Central London where customers and Lithium employees alike got to catch-up and network with a glass of Prosecco in hand. Special thanks to the Sun who decided to grace us with it’s presence (a feat in itself in the UK).
It seems some people were gutted to miss out. We don’t blame them! To make sure you don’t miss out on future events, make sure you join the European Events group here.
Events by @LithiumTech are always full of insight/knowledge, & great people.
