Call me cynical but this event is geared up for a lot of industry back clapping and not much meeting real get-their-hands-in-their-wallet clients. iTAGG's clients are too busy running companies to jet off to Barca for the week with their PR people (read into that what you like!!).<br><br>I am sure the exhibition organisers reading this will shoot me down and quote me all sorts of stats "123,000,000 billion ABC1 marketing managers with budgets of $12 trillion each and living within 6 yards of your business will be attending".

Those PR people aren't paid to read postings, just to send out releases and bind the clips into a book which demonstrate their performance. Sad, but true. Maybe you can create an auto-respond rule with a link back. BTW, glad to watch JMac's interviews, thanks for that. Edw. Ewan,
