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).
