June 23, 2010. The long anticipated day at the Brussels office has arrived! And it started with a visit from some unexpected attendees – the police Concerned with the smoke coming out of our famous @PNBR5 lotus, which was parked right in front of the office, two brave police officers rushed to save the day with their mini extinguisher … and were busy arranging more unexpected guests – the fire brigade!  The smoke btw, is our favorite special effect – and it’s coming from the smoking machine

After this fair share of entertainment and with the entire office dressed up in the George Clooney/Demi Moore style (Luc definitely deserves the look-a-like award!), we were ready to welcome the attendees. Over 40 participants representing European associations, companies and media attended the event. During the seminar, Gary, John and Danny did their magic and let’s be honest here – if they didn’t manage to convince you about the importance of digital and get you excited about it, you should go back to living under a stone because there is simply no hope for you! Oh, not to forget, in the middle of the presentation we had a power cut … just like that … and trust me, getting a beamer back to work is not an easy thing, unless you have the superITman – Mohamed – who has special powers to fix just about anything!  So as you can see, it’s never boring @PNBR5

Kathy arranged the most wonderful lunch and we were ready to connect with our attendees during the speed dating session – before anyone will misinterpret the services Porter Novelli is providing – we are talking social media speed dating here Later in the afternoon, an internal digital session took place during which John surprised everyone with his special talent – harmonica.  Yes, John plays harmonica (how awesome is that?). The day rounded up with a tweet-up and then we rushed to the airport to catch our flight to Madrid! Hasta luego!

*Kudos to Kathy, Febe, Wendy, Carolien,Evelien, Sasha, Christian and everyone who helped make this event a great success!
