  • AgWired Live TV From Celebrity Tractor Race

    AgWired Live TV at Celebrity Tractor RaceIf you missed it then you missed it. AgWired Live TV broadcast today’s Michael Peterson/New Holland Celebrity Tractor Race from the Chevy Zone at the CMA Music Fest.

    We had people tuning in and out of the broadcast which stretched over several hours today. I’m in the process of editing some pictures, audio and video to post here this afternoon from the hotel. Tomorrow I’ll be heading back to ZimmComm World Headquarters.

    The photo album is up to date.

    BASF Innovating For The Future

    Dr. Stefan MarcinowskiBefore I get to BASF innovation I just have to let you know this is post # 5,000 on AgWired. Talk about some new media innovation!

    Our first speaker this morning at the BASF Media Summit was Dr. Stefan Marcinowski, BASF Executive Board member. His job was to provide us with an overview of the company and a key word in his presentation was “Innovate.” Keeping with the theme of From Research to Reality, he says that BASF invests significantly in R&D which leads to innovation and that fuels the constant re-invention of the company.

    I like his remark that the future is the “time zone where we’ll spend the rest of our lives.”

    According to Dr. Marcinowski, BASF is the number one chemical company in the world in sales. He says their income has tripled in the last 10 years.

    Here’s his remarks so you can download and listen to them: Listen To InterviewRemarks by Dr. Stefan Marcinowski (20 min MP3)

    Apparently we’re going to be moving to different rooms this afternoon so this morning’s episode of AgWired Live TV is over but I have several recorded interviews like the following one with Mike Heinz, BASF President, Crop Protection Division.

    Thanks to all of you who watched and made it through our internet access disappearing for a few minutes.

    Broadcasting Live From BASF Media Summit

    BASF Media Summit - AgWired Live TVI didn’t know we had internet access here in the BASF Media Summit presentation room so I had to move my set up but we’re live and I’m going to stay live for the rest of the day.

    You can see the live stream showing up on my Mac here in the back of the room.

    Right now we’re near the end of the first session of speakers.

    Somebody just turned the air conditioning on which has been really needed here this morning.

    BASF Media Summit - AgWired Live TVThis is going to be a fun day of live web streaming activity. Hopefully I’ll bring you some live interviews during our breaks.

    I’m sort of in the way back here in the room but hopefully people will get used to walking around my tripod and cables.
