EFMA Online Financial Services 2008
Last night, I flew back from Athens where I spent a few days contributing to the EFMA Online Financial Services and the Mobile Financial Services events.
 
I have been busy speaking on social media, networking with my fellow speakers and the delegates, taking 100+ pictures, shooting 4 videos interviews, and covering the event on my blog. The events were excellent: congratulations to Philippe and the EFMA team.

I invite you to check my two photo albums on the VB Page:
* EFMA - Online Financial Services 2008
* Relax - EFMA Online Financial Services 2008

Please check out two of the four videos I shot at the event.
* Interview with Tim Collins, SVP Experiential Markeing at Wells Fargo
* Interview with Tony de Bree, ABN Amro

Please note that for the time being, those two videos are only available on my Facebook page.
 
You attended the EFMA events in Athens last week? I invite you to contribute and become a fan!
Please don't hesitate to leave your comments, and upload your own pictures on the VB Page.
