For every mid-level man­ag­ing job open­ing up, there’s scores of peo­ple will­ing and able. For every com­pany need­ing to hire an ad agency or design firm, there’s dozens out there, will­ing and able. For every per­son want­ing to buy a new car, there’s tons of car mak­ers and deal­ers out there. I could [go] on and on .… I could also go on about how many good peo­ple I know are caught in over­sup­plied mar­kets, and how every day they wake up, feel­ing chilled to the bone with dread and unease. Adver­tis­ing and media folk are clas­sic examples.

Link: What is this event ?

Within the last few months, the Inter­net as we know it has started to
change very fast, taken by storm by blogs and social soft­ware … I [Loic le Meur] decided to organ­ise [an] event … to help us
bet­ter define what’s com­ing next, with a dream panel of the key movers and shak­ers in the
world .… It is a one day and (prob­a­bly) one evening event
on Mon­day, April 25th …

Hugh McLeod (illus­tra­tion above), author of The Hugh­train and Gal­lieni will be on stage draw­ing their live impres­sions of the event. As of this post­ing, event orga­niz­ers indi­cated another 30 seats had been made available.

Any ques­tions? See you there! 

 


  • Thanks David, I look forward to meeting you at Les Blogs.

  • Actually, only 171 places have been paid for and, therefore, confirmed. This means that 79 places are still up for grabs. But, when they're gone, that's it. If you expressed interest and haven't paid, get back to Loic's Wiki and follow the payment link. If you want to participate in this astonishing, for Europe, event, don't hesitate to secure your place.
  • thanks for your kind words and see you there !
