Internet Marketing Conference Vancouver

Last year I spoke at the Internet Marketing Conference Vancouver on a fantastic, spirited social media panel. The reviews must have been good because I will be back for this year's conference, September 16-18. :) Not only will I be participating on the social media panel with Patrick Schwerdtfeger of Tactical Execution and William Azaroff of Vancity again, but we will also be joined by JP Holecka of Powershifter Media and Christopher Berry of Critical Mass. This panel should be even better than last year's as so much has changed in social media and we are joined by JP and Christopher.
I will also have a second session where I will be demonstrating the Radian6 social media monitoring platform.

The conference organizers have been kind enough to provide a 20% discount to readers of this blog for the main conference (the first day, training day is already sold out). Please use discount code: imc-speaker when you register.

Vancouver is a gorgeous city and this is a fantastic conference. I hope to see you there.

Internet Marketing Conference Vancouver

Friday I spoke at the Internet Marketing Conference presented by Lars Johannson and Lennart Svanberg on a fantastic social media panel with several high-powered social media experts from the US and Canada. Patrick Schwerdtfeger of Tactical Execution moderated the panel that also included, William Azaroff of Vancity, Jacqueline Voci of SoyaMarketing, Julie Wisdom of Babcock and Jenkins.  A full house sat in on a great lively workshop.  We discussed a variety of social media topics, from community, to PR, video, blogging, and of course, Twitter. I think my passion for Twitter even recruited a few new members to the Twitter community.  If you were at the workshop, please leave a comment.   It was a great workshop that I think everyone got a lot out of.

There were many people who live-blogged the conference, including Raquel Hirsch of WiderFunnel, Rebecca Bollwit of Miss604, and Monique Trottier of BoxcarMarketing, but one thing that surprised me was the lack of Twittering.  In fact, I think that I was the only one. That's a situation that I have never been in at a conference. Although I learned a lot at the conference, especially from Zaaz Chief Analytics and Optimization Officer, Jason Burby's presentation, the lack of the Twitter back channel and interaction with other attendees really was missed.
