WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
We have intentionally designed this conference and looked for speakers that cut across different business sectors and industries in order to expose everyone involved (speakers and attendees alike) to new and different ideas. It’s our philosophy that someone working at a Fortune 500 company has as much to learn from a small Mom & Pop business about the application of social media, as well as the other way around. If you are open-minded and willing to go outside your comfort zone, then this conference is for you. If you’re not open-minded, well, we’d still like to have you attend and see if we can change that.
