Kris Krug and I will be presenting on Web 2.0 and the 2010 Olympics as part of New Media BC's New Media Day for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Committee and friends on Thursday December 7, 2006.

We will be showing how "Web 2.0" can further the promotion of the Olympics and help connect the real world Olympic community with the online community world wide.

This will be a continuation of the work we've done earlier this year in Torino, where KK lead a Web 2.0 and Sports Symposium. This is also link with our ongoing strategy towards the 2008 Beijing Olympics with our client; China Access 2008 and the recent BarCamp Shanghai which Raincity helped organize and sponsored.

Krug and I just returned from E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, in LA and what a busy week it was! E3 is the premier trade show for the video and online gaming industry.

We went down on behalf of New Media BC and the Digital Media Association of Alberta to provide coverage of the show including recording podcasts with several companies from BC and Alberta who were exhibiting at E3.

Some of the companies I interviewed includes Jarhead Games, Buena Vista Group, Piranha Games, Next Level Games, and Hal Josephson of Media Sense.
