As I finally got my wireless working, I’ll be posting live updates from the Canadian Marketing Association Digital Marketing Conference for the next couple of days.
First up, context. There are about 200 people here, the majority are under 40 and less than 10% are using laptops. I see a bunch of Blackberries and other PDAs but note taking is all happening on ye olde paper pads. These are people who work (or at least have an interest) in the digital world—so why the disconnect?
