BIMA Facebook debate is sold out

The title says it all. We have 170 booked for the Facebook Debate at the fantastic BT auditorium. Apparently it’s the most talked about Facebook event of the year. Being contacted by the Facebook VP of Sales and VP of PR and Marketing from the Valley has got to be a good sign.

I met Mike Murphy, VP of Sales at Facebook, for dinner just before I went on holiday a couple of weeks ago, hence why I haven’t blogged about it until now. Whilst Mike was over from the Valley, I thought it was good timing to gather some likeminded friends together so Mike could get to meet some of London’s finest. I’ve since learned that at least 2 new projects have come out of that evening! It was very informal and everything was ‘off the record’, so, I’ve said enough already

This event is another example of how BIMA is stepping up a gear this year, after spending the guts of 2006 conducting research, implementing new tools/processes and striking up new collaborative relationships with other organisations.

BIMA is the placed industry association in the UK to help organisations better understand and appreciate new trends, tools and techniques that hit the market. This in turn, helps us to ensure the UK remains at the center of excellence for creativity. These new networking events aren’t just about learning new things though, they’re about bringing industry peers together with the ulterior motive of stimulating collaboration, partnership and increased sales.

I’ll publish another post as soon as I’ve received the biog from the last of our speakers.
