Fine Print

Hectic day today — been on the phone with the media to fill the last seats for this event we’re sponsoring: http://www.interactiveontario.com/events/ilunch7. The response has been very enthusiastic; people really want to know where Canada’s digital media industry is heading. [Press — please contact me if you’d like to attend, or click the link above.]

There wasn’t a long lead time for this … in fact, we started inviting yesterday. I think these days people are so busy they make a snap decision as to whether they’re going to attend an event or not. Sure, there’s cool things happening in 2009 that we’ve all bookmarked, but the digital media workplace is in the “here and now,” the RSS ping, the tweet — the immediacy of the technology turns us (well, me anyway) into a voracious user of information that needs a fix.

OK, back to the phone. Have a great weekend.
