Ad:Tech London



Someone tell me why I need to go please? I'm not the networking sort, but not being too far away I have no real excuses to not go, but I just can't see the appeal!

I think there are free drinks of some sort once you're in? Maybe a free USB stick, couple of pens could be handy.
I think it will generally be quite interesting...although it's probably easier if you go with others I guess, I just feel a bit awkward about it.

Free stuff, and you can still network with Affiliate Networks etc, and learn a lot from all the seminars. I'm missing two days of school for it, trust, it'll be good!

:D maybe even a t-shirt :) And yeah, awkwardness is natural. I'm sure there's a fair few alone WF'ers going though :food-smiley-010:
 
Awkward going on your own? I'll be happy enough on my todd, my friends are about as involved/interested in marketing as my dogs are in warcraft. :)

I'm looking down the list of exhibitors and quite liking the idea of going now because I'd love to shout at Facebook and Google for being such utter cunts. :D

Although I hear stories of being able to fill you pants with vouchers for Adwords so might be worth making friends!

Oh I DO want to see someone kick up a fuss! Most people that go to these conferences are just sent by their employers to pick up tips aren't they? So not many people really go with any anger...you'll have to shout for all of Wickedfire :D

O rly? :D :D :D

P.S. Anyone know anywhere in the area that'll serve a 17 year old with only a provisional as ID for fags? Worth a shot :D
Uh, I'll buy 'em for ya if I see you although I'm sure they wont ask your age. I'm not a smoker but my mates have bought smokes for years without ever being asked for ID.

Thanks loads! :D And really? I've asked at loads of places before, I only know one shop that doesn't ID, and that's literally hundreds of miles away :p

lol that sounds so familiar - my friends have branded ad-tech as geek week.

I'm going tomorrow with JanWonders and we are hoping to go to the neverblue party but still need to score an invite (hint hint Kenny if you are reading this!)

Do any other WF'rs fancy meeting up tomorrow?

Could do, although I wont be around for the part...as much as I'd love to be! I'll probably just try and get the train back when the day ends, got so much to do!
 
Cool - I'm not sure of the layout so just suggest a meetup time and place if you want? If not I might update this thread tomorrow a location suggestion and then anyone can just turn up if they want.

Lol - we are going to have fun recognising everyone from their avatars - should we all carry a pink carnation?

I'll be at Ad:Tech tomorrow and at NeverBlue's party.

Edit: Unfortunately, I'm not the girl in my avatar. Here's a picture of me: http://i56.tinypic.com/2cwptgh.jpg
 
That def makes it easier to spot you! I don't have a pic to update, I'm seriously considering going down the pink carnation route. Why don't we say 2.30 or 3 for a meet up time with location to be updated tonight or tomorrow? If anyone has any suggestions just add............
 
We have a booth as I think I mentioned. Everyone come by and say hello. Never been to the show so no idea what it will be like. Seems like there's going to be some good companies here to talk to about traffic sources tho. Booth is 10-5 tomorrow and the next day. Some come on by will have plenty of time to burn :D

Not like ASW/E, should have a lot of time to talk if you want to talk strategies and ideas. Or just need some help getting to the next level I'll share what I can. Look forward to seeing everyone coming.
 
I'll definitely talk to you Smax!

And I would wear a pink carnation...except I'm not dressed smart at all. Definitely update this thread today!
 
Will see you all there, leaving shortly! I'll be wearing black jeans, quite dirty plimsoles, a white american eagle t-shirt, a coat and a bright green adidas messenger bag :D

The question is.... will you or won't you have a fag hanging out your mouth?

LOL - looking forward to it. See you there.
 
Can't miss me, blue and black check shirt, massive hair and grey jeans. DC bag, buff said ;)

See you there!
