Internet Partner Forum Launch Meeting a Success
December 6, 2007The inaugural meeting of the Internet Partner Forum on Wednesday December 5th was packed with attendees from agencies, development shops and other product/service vendors at the Living Room Theaters in Portland, OR. Over 45 people registered.
The client-side panelists from Nike, Intel, Providence Health and Portland General Electric answered a lot of great questions as the shared their experience and opinions on what makes for great partner agencies and other vendors. In fact, there are some links below to audio clips of the panelists answering a key question.
I saw good examples of attendees meeting other attendees who provide complimentary services and could do possibly do business together at some point. That is one of the primary objectives of the Internet Partner Forum.
See below for photos as well as video and audio clips from the meeting.
