While wearing the many different hats of MC, coordinator, wifi guy, podcast traffic cop, and many others at the 2006 Innovative Marketing Conference, I was not able to take good notes of the great discussions that took place at the conference. Thankfully, many others did, and I will try to capture most of them here. I will also elaborate on specific sessions/discussions in future posts.
We're in the closing hours of the conference and should point you to the reams of great content we've captured for posterity:
A Fast Company Blogjam for which a team of bloggers have been reporting on the proceedings. Also tune in there for pointers to a great series of podcasts by Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson.
Heath Row and his Squidoo team have created a super set of lenses on the major themes and sessions of the conference.
Larry Weber, PR Guru, author and founder of the W2 Group, and Lois Kelly, interactive marketing pioneer and partner at Foghound, will discuss the future of the marketing department in a Skypecast at noon EST today. You can find more information about the upcoming Skypecast here. To join - simply go the Skypecast url at noon and log in with your Skype account. If you do not have a Skype account, it's easy, sign up for a free account, it will take you less than 2 minutes. If for some reason you do not have a microphone, you can also ask your questions by joining the chat room at http://events.corante.com/imc/chat.php.
If you missed some of the Skypecasts that we ran leading up to our Marketing Innovation conference next week, you can go to the event's home page and look for MP3 recordings in the sidebar.
