Global Dynamics event 2nd Nov 2007

This conference looks interesting.  Can't make it myself, but it would be good to hear if anyone else is down to go, and then to get your post-event report.

Marcoms businesses are looking constantly for new ways to serve their clients, and to grow and develop. The Results International 2007 Global conference explores the latest trends and practices in successfully achieving, funding and managing emerging growth opportunities. Some businesses have chosen the route of international expansion into new or high growth emerging markets; others are targeting new and emerging technologies in the digital space. 

Shepherds London

Having had my third client meal here recently, thought I'd add it as the first restaurant review on MarCom Professional :-)

Fundamentally, I find Shepherds to be a perfect restaurant for client entertaining. Attentive staff. Good location. And the good spacing between tables provides for relative privacy. There is also a private room at the back for larger groups, which from memory seats up to 20.

I particularly like Shepherds for US clients looking to eat English... fabulous sausage and mash!

Feature list

Here's a list of things MarCom Professional could do next, in no fixed order.

  • Review list and status of invited colleagues
  • Create personal message boards on your own page where other members can leave notes and messages... these are fully public
  • Include comments in RSS feeds
  • Create the ability to post easily from mobile phones
  • Create virtual acquariums (only kidding)
  • Make it even easier to browse the whole membership
  • The options to be notified by email or IM or RSS when someone comments on my posts
  • What about integrating Twitter?!
  • When there's hundreds of posts a day, it would be great to have a more personalised homepage prioritising the posts from friends / colleagues
  • In the "New features in store" post, I like the addition of blogrolls and event posts. Guess the latter will help members set-up events and manage attendance
  • From that same post, I love the member-moderation idea; thumbs up / down voting on posts. What do you think to rationing the number of times members can give a thumbs up or down to try and stop the kind of fixing some people believe blights Digg?
