The Customer Insights group at digital marketing agency 360i monitored online conversations taking place during the 2009 ad:tech San Francisco conference. By nature, the event drew an enthusiastic crowd of social media aficionados who took to Twitter and other platforms to communicate with others in attendance – as well as those not in attendance, who were following the activity at ad:tech from home. This presentation outlines some of the team's key findings.
