A quick late mention of the great range of speakers at the all-day conference – Global Media Ideas 2012 – at The Studio, Opera House, Sydney. Kept putting off report as I sorted out coming to Paris for #ubiqparis.
But you can find plenty of comments, including mine, on Twitter at #xmedialab
Happy hunting.
And tomorrow UbiQ’s Digital Entertainment Showcase starts in central Paris. Check UbiQ-Europe.com
