Richard Robbins | 10:54 UK time, Tuesday, 22 January 2013

Hi, my name is Richard and I'm a technologist working in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Blue Room.

It's my job to highlight immediate consumer technology trends and game changing media consumption devices and to bring them to the attention of our editorial, technical and management teams.

In the Blue Room we often find the strongest way to convey the importance and impact of new electronic equipment and content services is to put them in the hands of our colleagues and allow them to discover the potential for themselves.

The Blue Room is our den of devices where colleagues can touch, test and trial new consumer cameras, emerging displays, fresh forms of digital content and connected experiences across mobile, tablet, PC and televisions.

One of the biggest events in the technology calendar is the . It features 20,000 product launches, more than 150,000 attendees and over 3,250 exhibitors.

With the exception of Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft nearly every technology company from start-up to the multi-billion dollar global brand have a presence in Las Vegas in January.

My fellow Blue Roomer, Lindsey Suter and I were there too.

I'm Richard Smith and I look after feedback and public accountability for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Online (including managing the small team who produce this blog and plan and deliver our ´óÏó´«Ã½ Online Industry Briefings.)

Part of my role involves working with ´óÏó´«Ã½ commissioners and external suppliers to facilitate the working relationship between ´óÏó´«Ã½ Online and the UK's digital industry, whether these are big players or start-ups.

´óÏó´«Ã½ Online is subject to a quota which ensures that we spend at least 25% of our eligible budget with external suppliers, with the aim of creating the highest quality service and the best possible value for money.

In 2011 the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Trust asked us to report back with answers to six key questions relating to what our quota aims to achieve and how we work with the digital industry.
