Tomorrow is the first remix conference: classic meets online (advertising). To recap what it will be all about:
Fachleute aus dem klassischen Marketing-Umfeld treffen die Aktiven des Web 2.0 für einen professionellen und persönlichen interdisziplinären Austausch.
Feste Konferenzelemente treffen auf die adhoc-Strukturen von BarCamp und Open Space – Beim remix09 mischen sich Unternehmerinnen und Unternehmer, Vorstände, Freelancer und Angestellte. Von U-30 bis Ü-60. Eine breite Wissens- und Erfahrungsbasis aus klassischem Marketing und Web 2.0 – ganz ohne Peergroups, Selbstreferenzialität und Tunnelblick.
The agenda is up with a few fixed keynotes and speaches. The rest of the conference will be organised barcamp-style. Looking very much forward to this experiment, which also happens to take place in a really nice surrounding: the Museum of Hamburg History. Even the party in the evening will take place in those surroundings!
I shall be live blogging tomorrow. Well, as live as I can manage during the conference anyway 😉
Some of you might have noticed the event tip/ad in the righthand column. This is something particularly interesting for my German readers: the remix09 conference is happening on the 12th and 13th of June here in Hamburg. Title: „online meets classic“. The setup of the event is a mixture of barcamp and a regular conference:
Fachleute aus dem klassischen Marketing-Umfeld treffen die Aktiven des Web 2.0 für einen professionellen und persönlichen interdisziplinären Austausch.

A few days ago, the agenda has been published. There will be two tracks. The first track is mostly with fixed slots and offers speaches and discussions by quite a few well-known people such as Bernd M. Michael (ex-CEO of Grey Germany), and Prof. Peter Wippermann of Trendbüro.
Some of the other slots in track 1 plus most slots in track 2 can be filled by participants, in true barcamp style, I suppose.
Working in an advertising agency that offers both classic and online, I am particularly interested to see how the discussion between the two disciplines will develop. We’ll see. I shall be updating this blog shortly before and during the conference with more news on the ongoing discussions.
During the last couple of days at the next09 conference here in Hamburg Germany, I enjoyed quite a few very interesting presentations, talks and discussions. Amongst the internationally known people were bloggers/thinkers such as Jeff Jarvis, Brian Solis, Umair Haque, Steve Rubel, Stowe Boyd plus a few others. Of course, there were also many well known digerati from Germany/Europe, checkout the next conference homepage for a list of the speakers.
One of the most inspiring speaches was the keynote of Jeff Jarvis, who just wrote the book „what would Google do„.
Techcrunch’s Robin Wauters interviewed Jeff Jarvis during the conference for a quick take on the points he made during his presentations at next09:
This weekend I will visit the barcamp Hamburg 2008 – my first visit to a barcamp ever. Looking very much forward to it, curious to see what kind of session we’ll have. Not sure yet if and what I will present…
The venue is at Otto Versand, a German mail order company that moved heavily into e-commerce (of course) and seems to sponsor much of the whole event.
Well, more about that I will most likely blog live at my german blog, and yes, I will most likely blog it in German, too.
I will be at the blogger gathering in Hamburg today, which is organised by Klaus Eck and Cellity. Let me know via Twitter if you’re there (@webjungle). It’s my first blogger gathering, so I am already looking forward to it!
Wo ich sonst so bin...
