“Oh – traditional business conference, it’s time to pack up and go home. Even retire for that matter.”

You can’t compete.

Web 2.0 has you pinned to the mat and you’re yelping “Uncle!” Ok. Maybe a slight exaggeration. But still, the days of static, one way anything – advertising, media, PR, video, music distribution, business, etc. – are OVER.

Take a read of this article from CNNMoney.com.

One of my current projects is planning an unconference for the Creative Cities Summit 2.0 coming to Detroit during Oct. 13-15. Some seriously fresh a** ideas are coming to mind with Second Life, Facebook, Twitter, cell phones, video, and cameras.

Stay tuned for the brillance that will be CCS2’s unconference.

If you have any ideas for us about a cool venue/event you went to that incorporated such interactive elements, give me a shout! I’d love to hear about it.
