(Disclosure) I am a CODACAN member and involved in the breakfast series planning. This has been several months in the making because of everyone’s busy work schedules. One of the big drivers was getting retailers and NOT vendors out to talk about what they’ve done and experienced. Koodo, a separately branded subset of telecom Telus, has been invited to come in and talk about its mall kiosks and the great little interactive screens it has set up.

The technology is driven by AdFlow, but I think we’d all agree we’d like to hear from Telus, not the software guys.

There are other speakers roughed in and waiting to go, but efforts are still underway to get a couple of retailers who would be particularly interesting to hear from at the event. Any ideas, zip me a note.
