Many of the delegates were forced to take trains, extended bus or car rides, but the festival's organizers said attendance was "much higher than anyone would have anticipated under the circumstances," and that social media platforms - especially YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Flip Video and WebEx - were utilized to allow some executives to participate "virtually" and remotely despite their inability to attend.
Other top awards went to WPP's MediaCom for "network of the year," and Publicis' Jack Klues, managing partner of VivaKi, who was named "Media Professional of the Year."
