Mobile LatAm Conference 2012

Just a quick blog post to let you know that I will be speaking at the first Mobile Opportunities in Latin America (Mobile LatAm) Conference and Expo at the Miami Beach Convention Center from February 1-3, 2012.

 

Since 1994, I have worked in the Latin American marketplace, first in the music business, then in cable TV and since 2003, in social media and online communications. Mobile is exploding worldwide, and Latin America is no exception. (For a more complete list of credits, feel free to click on the LinkedIn widget in the right hand sidebar.)

My session is Thursday, February 2 at 1pm and is entitled “Harnessing the Power of Mobile Social Media in Latin America” where I will be co-presenting with Javier Martin of Almira Labs.

Here is a link to the show. Hope you can make it.

Buckminster Fuller’s Fly’s Eye Dome

We have worked with Design Miami/ and Art Basel Miami Beach since 2005, first helping them get introduced to the South Florida market and, in recent years, telling their story of phenomenal growth.

This year, we created a fun time lapse video of the installation of Buckminster Fuller’s Fly’s Eye Dome. The video was picked up by the New York Times, and can be seen here:

Time lapse videos are fun, and this one is particularly cool. Hope you enjoy it.
