Dopplr.com Private Lunch and David Ogilvy Day
It was 09:30 when Thomas Crampton first call me. Not to yell at me (because I was 30 mins late -_- ) but to announce me that Tim and I were invited to the Dopplr.com Private Lunch at the (AMAZING) Shangri-La Island Hotel.
We were really excited because quite important (from CNN, Turner, Shangri-La...) people attended and the lunch was conducted by quite a famous and important entrepreneur called Marko Ahtisaari (Dopplr.com's CEO, son of the former UN diplomat, president of Finland, and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize Martti Ahtisaari).
This event is a unique occasion for us (mere students and entrepreneur wannabe) to simply listen...and learn ! For two hour we witnessed very interesting discussions about the future of Dopplr.com (expansion, new strategy) and social media used as travel purpose as well.
Once the lunch finished, I ranhome to change my formal dress (by the way, what do you think? :p) into some more casual one because today is the "David Ogilvy Day". We were all transported by bus to the Gold Coast Hotel where the employees, from the top managers to the simple (and highly appreciated, she even knows my name !) receptionist, had fun by playing (social) games, followed by a huge buffet and the first episode of "Ogilvy's Got Talent" (Some employees (including Shiren) performed some nice songs!)
It was a great day, I really look forward to seeing the "official" pictures and videos.
