Where can we find the applications? Is this possible? It would be great to get more detail on what they did!
Hi Steve,
It was actually Intel Australia that won the Best Channel Marketing Award, not American Express - they were in a different category.
If you could amend that it would be great.
Thanks,
Kirsti
Kirsti,
you are right, my apologies. It has been fixed. Thanks for catching that. I guess it's a continuation of the theme of the actual announcements... :)
Steve
Jame,
we're definitely looking at ways to get the finalists to tell their stories. So much to cover, there were some amazing campaigns and great marketers in the contest.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the copy of your book. Can't wait to read it and understand this new wave of buyer behavior.
Frankly, I'm very disappointed that we haven't been given access to an archive of all of the presentations given at the conference. I'm trying to share some insights with my team and despite my notes it's not that easy without them.
With respect to how to get the finalists to tell their stories, some of them - Infoblox, for example - did in the Breakout Sessions. When/where can we get copies of the slide decks that they prepared for these presentations?
Also, maybe next year you could have a "Markie" track in the Breakouts. Perhaps that would encourage better participation at that level.
Chick - absolutely, we're working on that diligently. Just making sure all the numbers are good to be shared as some of the presentations were more detailed than sharable versions. Markie track is a great idea.
