This is a first for AgWired and ZimmComm New Media. Hopefully tomorrow you’ll see posts from three of us in three countries from three different events. Laura is in Texas, USA attending the Propane Technology Forum, Cindy is in Frankfurt, Germany attending a tour at BASF headquarters and I’m finally in Guelph, Canada where I’ll be passing along what I know about new media to a new crop of agricultural communications specialists.

One thing I can tell you is that the travel part of this deal is not what it used to be. I had one flight canceled today and wound up a little under 5 hours delayed getting in to Toronto. Cindy was traveling yesterday and had her first flight canceled, second one delayed I don’t know how many hours and finally got in to Germany just in time to start working with no break. I hope Laura’s flight was okay today.

My most interesting part of today’s trip was after going through Customs in Toronto I got directed to Immigration which was a fairly long wait. It turns out the Customs officer thought I needed a work permit which I did not since guest speaking doesn’t require one.

So, hopefully we’ll all be bringing you some interesting content from out and about internationally. It’s certainly a new media world!
