Martin Symes (CEO, Wego) defending cash battled it out with John Northern (VP South-East Asia, Marriott International) defending l'amour.
Gotta give it to them … they were both great … but my mind had already been made-up before they even started. Romanticism any day!
So what were the roses for on all the tables? They were used for the voting in this grand debate. Lift up your rose to show your love … or pull out a wad of cash if $$$ is all you think about.
The roses were flying high!
And that's it … THE END
Just remember: Internet years are like dog years … don't wait 5 years to do something … for that is actually 35 long years of inaction!
Thanks Siew Hoon and team … there was no shortage of great content, interactive sessions (love how you use SMS and twitter to ask questions which takes the spotlight off participants who would not necessarily lift their hand up in a room of 150 people), loud music, putting speakers in the spotlight with questions such as 'what's the first thing that comes to mind when I say xyz?' and full-on energy.
And now … I'm WaITing for 2010!
