ad:tech Chicago 2006 - Day One Roundup

The first day here at Online Marketing Blog and at the ad:tech blog. Big Brands and Podcasting Frank Gruber saying that we should connect here at the conference. I did not know he was attending. I replied that I was in the press room. Turns out, so was Frank! He's here helping cover the conference for iMedia Connection. Frank walked over and we had a great talk about some of the exciting things he's doing here in Chicago to connect web 2.0 companies and people. I had a brief opportunity to walk the exhibit hall in the morning and then again at the end of the day when there was a party hosted by CIMA and BlueLithium. I had the chance to meet Don Knox, VP of ad:tech and it was interesting when we met that he recognized me from reading Online Marketing Blog. I think that's pretty cool actually. Online Marketing Blog offering daily news, interviews and best practices.
