As I said, I think the panel overall was well done. Some excellent perspective. Great questions from those on stage and off. The point about the title was meant as an aside; I even think I had to look it up before writing this. The key about these MITX events is being able to speak to these companies without feeling like you're being sold to…or feeling like you have to sell them. I think my favorite part was chatting with @holaphil afterwards. Thanks again for the comment and looking forward to the next event. Thanks Mike. As I said, I think the panel overall was well done.

I thought the panelists made some pretty good attempts at answering the question in the title, but also feel that it is a loaded question given that we are still on the bleeding edge of this stuff and that as we discussed a little, each of the vendors has their own angles and conventions. I am looking forward to seeing Phil's video so I can see what you saw. Having 3 vendors on the panel and an audience full of marketers and technologists (which is pretty typical for MITX), we thought that it was important to give people, many of whom have not seen much of this stuff before and who do not understand all the possibilities, some activation options. I also talked to audience members just prior to the talk to see what they wanted to get out of it as well. If you plan to attend an event that I am involved with in the future, I would love your thoughts ahead of time. By the way, I'm happy to see you making recommendations on Whrrl. Keep it up. Gabi,
