@ OPA London: The Buzz From Day One

It feels buzzy again, even in Europe. The day one of the OPA Global Forum in London was packed, both with the audience and the programme. Some irrelevant observations:

– There is something about the French…sometimes cliches are there for a reason. I’ll leave it at that.

– Americans, when you’re on a panel in London, don’t use U.S. pop-culture shorthand…it is insulting to the people here.

– We need more media entrepreneurs attending these online publishing conferences…just vendor startups are not enough.

– Bernie Gershon (head of ABC News Digital Media Group) is definitely funnier than Steve Hayden (Vice Chairman, Ogilvy Worldwide), though Hayden can belt it out in case the audio fails.

– If audio fails, I can’t help you..we only cover the online audio and video business…not a technology geek.

– To everyone who gave shoutouts to us on the panels…thanks. All I can say is: Kaching…(well, not really, but it helps).
