Gents - a heads up...
As most of you know the hotel pricing in Hamburg during SMM is crazy. This year most of the hotels have signed with the exhibition thereby increasing the price level once again.
We have been sucessful in locating a new hotel (see below) - I dont know if the still have rooms available, but a lot of money to be saved....

The hotel that will open in August and thus hasn't been booked up by the SMM's travel agent

The Motel One Hamburg am Michel costs 89 Euros a night (plus breakfast 7,50) and is only a 1,5km walk to the exhibition.

Gents,

Just returned from the SMM 2010 in Hamburg. It was a pleasure to meet with so many from the Canadian community. A lot of decision makers attend and my general impression that Canada cam back with a lot of potential business and agreements.
I personally had the pleasure of meeting up with more that 10 "local" companies.....
