We're gearing up for our annual DoubleClick Performics client summit, Aug 13-14 in our hometown, Chicago. We've got Steven "Freakonomics" Levitt delivering our keynote. Lots of great networking and info sharing sessions too.
Can't wait to see all our clients and partners here in Chicago. Some pple may be disappointed that we're breaking our tradition of Cubs skyboxes, but we have an amazing event planned for Shedd Aquarium, easily the best venue in Chicago for a party.
I'll be hosting a panel featuring founders of some of the coolest "social web" properties out there: Jeffrey Kalmikoff from Threadless, Meetro and BazaarVoice. Our theme is the age of ingenuity, and the social web is spinning out some unbelievably ingenious ideas right now. If you're coming, or even if you're not (sorry, by invite only!), I'd love to hear your thoughts on what's most ingenious about the space right now. What would you ask these leaders in the space if you couldn't just track them down on linked in, facebook or their own sites and ask them yourself ;-)
I'll be posting more on this panel as it approaches. Fire me your thoughts by email or in comments...
