Now, to find the time to collate my thoughts on this…

I’ve tried to liveblog similar events before, and never as well. I’d been planning on doing this one. But one of the reasons I didn’t come down in the end (apart from the fact that the speakers were sounding lame) was that you were doing such a good job it would have been very difficult to add any further value.

Cheers,

I therefore wonder whether the more cynical observations on the afternoon sessions are more a result of tiredness than their inherent lameness — though that said, I do think it’s a bit lame for a conference presenter to just show their agency’s showreel.

Please, don’t just show your stuff. Explain how you reached the decision to do it that way. Tell us how successful or not it was. Give us some value we can take with us — rather than something could have been a few links in a blog post.

One highlight of the showreels, though, was the viral (fuck I hate that term!) video for Freixenet champagne produced by JWT Barcelona. Directed by Martin Scorsese, its conceit is that it’s Scorsese directing a “lost” Hitchcock movie. Wonderful!

@wraptinweb: I reckon I’ll do some reflection and more writing tomorrow. I might also correct some of the more appalling typos in the liveblog.

thanks for doing this. The BDS speaker was good value. In the afternoon speakers, and with the benefit of hindsight, did any of them stand out in some (good) way. Was there a differentiator, a clear special insight or understanding that separated them from the pack?
