It’s here fear not, the long awaited (ahem ok I decided myself that it was) second installment of my travels to Manchester for the 2011 eCommerce Expo. I did say I would have this up a couple of Fridays ago and although in theory it’s late it is still up and it is a Friday so….

Anyway, just to recap the eCommerce Expo was held in Old Trafford football stadium and I have to say having little to none real interest in football and losing my other half to the beautiful game multiple times a week I was still very excited to be there. It is absolutely huge and also there enjoying the stadium and all it has to offer multiple international school trips making the cafe and restaurant busy to say the least. The expo was held to ‘meet all of our ecommerce, advertising and marketing needs.’ It was however mostly focused on selling online and the ecommerce side of things as opposed to marketing and advertising in saying that they do of course have an important part to play in ecommerce.

“would you like to go to Manchester for the Ecommerce Expo on Thursday Lisa?”

“Would I? Em yeah…!”

“Great the train to Preston leaves Glasgow Central at 5.40am.”

“eekk!”

Brilliant my first company trip away to an interesting and exciting sounding exhibition in Old Trafford football stadium no less; I was very excited. Even the thought of getting up at 4am and getting home at midnight couldn’t deter me…no way. I was a little apprehensive of how the world looked at that time of the morning. Would I be able to function normally? Would I be able to speak? Just about was the answer to those two questions! So off Calum and I sped on the 5.40 train from Central full of anticipation with the amount of new knowledge we were going to came back with and have at our disposal when the time came for dazzling with our E commerce know how.

Yesterday myself and Calum headed along to the SECC for Digital 2011. It’s a 2 day conference (though day 2 is invitation only) which consists of seminars, workshops, networking opportunities and a healthy dose of coffee drinking and eating.

The first part consisted of 3 talks followed by a Q&A session then 3 further talks followed by another Q&A session. Read more…

A year sure does pass fast in PoLR Towers and it’s hard to think it was a year ago since we did a post like this. Still, the time had come for a change of office to somewhere brighter and well, just a bit nicer!

It seems like ages ago that the PoLR team were driving down to Leeds for the first Think Visibility conference. In fact it was only 6 short months ago and so, on Friday night, we found ourselves off on our second roadtrip of the year down to sunny Leeds for the second round of Think Visibility for 2009.
