First Ever Canada-e-Connect Conference in full Swing

The first ever conference about Web Strategy for Tourism in Canada is well underway in Vancouver. I must say that so far I am very impressed about how jens Thraenhart and his team have been able to put this together in a short period of time. Congrats to him and Trevor and Mimi and the entire team. There is a terrific line up of speakers and great opportunities to network in the Tourism 2.0 space. One thing I am very pleased with is that their is a hipness to the whole thing. The hall where the conference is taking place gives a feeling of "cool," something our tourism promotion is sometimes lacking. Anthony Williams presentations on Wikinomics was very well received and the two first panels on the Evolution of Distribution and the Evolution of Advertising (Marketing) have been very thought provoking.
Cheers.

PS I also got to meet Miss Canada, go figure!
