nextMEDIA, Banff, June 6-8, 2008

This weekend I had the chance to attend the nextMEDIA conference in the magnificent Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.

So on my way to a session room on Sunday morning I walk across Leila Boujnane, CEO, Idée Inc..
Phil : Leila!
Leila (intrigued) : Yes?
P : You went to the Milia in Cannes a while back?
L : I believe so but it was a long time ago.
P : Indeed. 10 years ago, my masters' thesis won the Milia's Young Talent contest and they invited me to present it in Cannes. I was a broke grad student having the time of his life. You and I met there and you bought me a sandwich.

I know I'm not the only delegate at the nextMEDIA who was extremely impressed by the technology your company develops.
Thank you Leila.
