Most of the companies getting awards are "Disruptive" and getting rewarded for it.
Overall winner - Quigo (build one of the largest ad companies in the world one page at a time).
There's a panel going on - but I found it kinda boring and I'm hungry - and the majority of people at the conference are drinking and eating at the lounge - so I decided to go there too and get a Diet Coke and whatever food I could find - hopefully before it's snatched up by someone else.
I'm also glad I'm here with my new laptop - which seems to be in place with the high profile environment I'm blogging from.
But the fact most of that 60% now, of the people are at the lounge networking is telling - the panel is not that interesting ...sorry, I have to call it as I see it. It's not that the information is not good - I'm sure it is. Maybe it's people being really hungry and thirsty.
And then again, all the drinks are free and you can have whatever you want.
