At the Great Wall on a Sunny October Day

By Des Walsh | Oct 20, 2007

My good intentions to post about the ad:tech conference here in Beijing this week have been dented by:

  • the abundance of things to see and experience for someone who has never been to this part of the world before
  • some challenges with internet access.

And with only a day and a half to go and some serious sightseeing still planned, I doubt I’ll be doing much blogging, at least before I hit Shanghai tomorrow night. And then there will be more sightseeing.

In the meantime, for some observations on ad:tech Beijing, see Eddie Choi’s post What Else, What’s New. Unfortunately I missed his B2B session, which I was hoping to catch: I had to do some last-minute re-working of the slides I had prepared beforehand for the session I was moderating, on blogging (the title indicated it was about creating a social networking platform, but it was really focused on corporate blogging).

    Hi Des, enjoy exploring Beijing and Shanghai. I am expecting your Ad Tech posts and your views about China market. I also recommend Thomas Crampton’s blog. He has a lot more details about the event.

    Des,

    You did a great job moderating at ad-tech Beijing. Click my name to see my visit to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Wasn’t it stunning?

    all best,

  4. […] the ad:tech Beijing event a couple of weeks ago, then at least to post more than I have, namely a brief post here from Beijing, with a picture of me at the Great Wall, and a similarly brief post on another […]

    At the least Eddies B2B session would of been very interesting - especisally observing “The commercial value of social media doesn’t look particularly exciting” from his post
