NEW TODAY FROM ICMA

Greetings!   

The ICMA "Marketplace Innovations" conference in Cologne, Germany 17-20 April was a huge success! The conference report and videos of the presentations are now available. Additionally, ICMA Member, Ed Moore one of our Mobile Panellists, compiled a list of the "Top 10 Things NOT to do When Going Mobile." You may find his tips listed on his website.  One final note to wrap up this conference, if you haven't already done so, please complete the survey we sent to all conference attendees last Monday 22 April.  

 

SAVE THE DATE! We excitedly look forward to our autumn conference "Expanding Beyond Classifieds" which will be held in the beautiful city of Prague, Czech Republic 13-16 November.

Two Board Members, Santtu Poutanen from Sanoma Digital Finland and Pekka Ketonen from Ketonen & Co. have stepped down from their board positions.
