We received very good feedback from participants of the November Roundtable which we have analysed and pulled out some key findings, such as:
– the event was well appreciated by most participants
– marketing and communications professionals made up 46% of the audience
– more time was needed for networking
– the event format was not sufficiently interactive for participants
– the panel was seen by some participants as being of a varied level
– participants would like the following topics to be addressed in future events: international communications, media relations, evaluation and measurement.
A summary of the findings are available:

EU promises wireless wonderland as it sets Europe-wide standard
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/12/14/business/EU_FIN_EU_Wireless_Wonderland.php
Wireless baby monitors and headphones bought in one European country will work anywhere in the European Union, the European Commission promised Thursday after setting EU-wide frequencies for short range wireless products…..
But the EU executive is living in a wireless wonderland, saying standard EU rules — also covering radio frequency identification tags — will do away with the need for national licenses to use that part of the spectrum and give makers of electronics certainty that their products won’t interfere with other wireless communications….
If you are interested in communications, technology and social media, then you might want to consider attending LIFT07 taking place in Geneva: 8-9 February 2007.
Early bird registration closes on 15 December: If you register before this date, you pay CHF 295 instead of CHF 395. Regardless, it’s a great price considering the proposed programme. If you participate you can also propose a workshop or make a presentation yourself.
