dConstruct archive now available
We’re very happy to announce that the entire dConstruct archive is now available online. And what an incredible collection it is! In the last 7 years, dConstruct has presented 2175 minutes of insightful thinking from the brightest minds in the digital industry… inspirational talks which you can now delve into any time. Also, our very own Jeremy Keith wrote this blog post about creating the archive site.
And there’s more dConstruct news. This year’s holding page is now live - and rather lovely it is too (design courtesy of our super intern, Alex Jones). The 2012 event will take place on Friday, September 7th, at Brighton Dome - be sure to mark the date in your diary. With last year’s tickets selling out in a gobsmacking 6 hours, you’ll want to make a note of when tickets go on sale, too… follow @dConstruct on Twitter, so you don’t miss any announcements!
On the subject of fast-selling tickets, have you snagged your place at UX London? There are less than 40 discounted Standard rate tickets left, so be sure to get yours while you can!

TheActuaryJobs.com given new look
TheActuaryJobs.com , the official jobs board of the Actuarial Profession and SIAS, has been re-designed and re-launched.
TheActuaryJobs.com is the only job board endorsed and supported by The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, providing employers with unrivalled marketing opportunities to reach the largest possible pool of targeted candidates with their actuarial vacancies. The site is promoted on the SIAS and Actuarial Profession websites, as well as in The Actuary magazine, on its website (theactuary.com) and in its weekly email, The Actuary Round Up.
Responsibility for The Actuary brand moved to Redactive Media Group after a competitive tender review last summer. Recruiters have been keen to sign up to the re-designed site, which is promoted in emails from the Actuarial Profession and SIAS to their members.
Redactive delivers innovative and award-winning print, digital & event services to some of the UK's leading membership institutes and professional organisations. The Actuary magazine and websites complement Redactive's fast-growing B2B institute recruitment portfolio, which includes Madgex job boards for CIPD (peoplemanagement.co.uk/jobs), CIPS, (supplymanagement.com/jobs), BIFM (fm-world.co.uk/jobs) and CIPFA (pfjobs.co.uk), as well as Redactive's wholly owned title, Recruiter (www.recruiter.co.uk/jobs).
Jo Marsh, Advertising and Commercial Director at Redactive,
said: "The combination of the Actuarial Profession's loyal
membership and Redactive's unrivalled experience of running job
boards for membership institutes makes TheActuaryJobs.com the
market-leading recruitment tool for employers."
