2nd Day at the IMMAP Conference

On the 2nd day of the IMMAP Conference, I finally found a seat. On the same table were a couple of guys from J Walter Thompson. A guy from Repertory, who most of the time was punching the keys of his new iBook. That quickly reminded me of the "Freedom from Connectivity" column I recently wrote at the Tech Page of the Manila Times.

Beside me, towards my left is an an expat (half American, half-French) named Mark Haufmann. He had been an expat here in the Philppines for 12 years. We shared stories about other countries from Prague to Ho Chi Minh City. We both agreed that Cuba would be a nice place to visit, before commercialism and the digital universe takes over.

And besides him were a couple of participants from PS Bank.

Sheila Rada of IPVG joined us later in the afternoon, after Enrique had given his presentation.

Today's session had Yota Mitsunobo talks about his digital experiences in Japan. Yota during a light moment after his presentation says that "Mitsunobo" means light. The key buzz word that made a sttrong presence was AISAS, which means, Awareness, Interest, Search, Action and Share. I will talk about that buzz word in a separate blog.

Unfortunately, the program host still thinks that the agency Alcantara DYR still exists. Haha.

Enrique Gonzalez and Aileen Apoli also gave presentationsm but they deserve a separate blog.
