thinkNB launched tonight for a mix and mingle with exhibitors and guests at the Aitken Center in Fredericton. Tomorrow is a full day event open to the public. I had the opportunity tonight to meet with a few of the exhibitors and talk to them about their businesses. It was all rather loose this evening and tomorrow I’ll dive more into specific questions when I talk to various technology industry demographics. I used this event as my first time trying out utterz.

I met Dan Martell from Spheric last year at a Wizard Academy workshop put on by the Fundy Group. We have always had lots to discuss about web 2.0, online marketing and social networking. Tomorrow I’ll be talking to Dan and the others at Spheric tomorrow to find out exactly how they’re lazy but for now here’s an utterz from Dan.

Online Revealed Canada is holding a Revealed Educational Exchange conference Jan 24, 2008 in Halifax. This one day event is geared towards those in the tourism, travel and hospitality industry. Topics covered will be search engine optimization, PPC (pay per click), organic search, social media and revenue & distribution management.

I would think that even someone outside of the above industries may still find it useful if they want to learn about those topics. There are so few events held in Atlantic Canada, you almost need to grab related ones that come out when you can.

On another e-tourism note. Atlantic Canada recently took home a few Canadian e-tourism Awards.
Nova Scotia awards are already listed at Tourism Research, E-Marketing & New Media Blog from NS.
Newfoundland - The Government of NF won an award for the best website in the public sector.
Tourism PEI was a finalist in the best website public sector.
