News of the 2015 MIMA Summit sellout has reached Bangkok. Unfortunately, for the first time in like a gajillion years, I will be unable to attend tomorrow’s awesomeness.

Congratulations to all my friends and colleagues for your dedication and hard work towards making the MIMA’s exceptional. Everyone involved – board members (past and present), fellow members, sponsors and friends of the MIMA – Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association are the lifeblood that makes Minnesota an amazing digital marketing community – frankly the envy of the World.
