A Note to Readers
from Ann Handley
Chief Content Officer

Welcome to 2009!

Hello discerning readers! And welcome to 2009!

We know what you're up against this year. Lofty marketing goals. Drum-tight budgets. A shadow of worry and fear. This year is shaping up to be a critical year for businesses, and we're feeling renewed to bring you the best marketing know-how we can produce.

In the coming months, we'll be rolling out a series of products and services that meets our imperative. But for today, I'm highlighting one.

We just announced our MarketingProfs Business-to-Business Forum 2009, which again takes place this June in my hometown of Boston. This summer's event (now in its third year) will be the most important Business-to-Business Forum we've ever held.

Hundreds of business marketers will convene in Boston to hash out the specific strategies for generating the leads that convert to sales in this challenging market. We think that this is the time to re-charge, re-vamp and re-invent your marketing programs. And the B2B Forum is the place to put the wheels in motion. See the overview page here.

And by the way, if you register by January 9 (this Friday), you'll pay only $795 to attend. This is the best price you'll find, so don't wait! Go to the pricing page to register.

Hope to meet you there or, if we've already met, see you again!
