The first edition of the CWMF was held on Thursday in Montreal. We were 200 business people with a strong interest in wireless management and in wireless innovation.

We were 200 marketers with a passion for internet communications at MIXX Canada yesterday. I came back home with some nice takeaways even if some presentations were more sales pitches than passionate speeches.
