The 'Practical Wisdom' of MarketingProfs

Were you at the TED Conference this year, rubbing elbows with Elizabeth Gilbert? Bono? Jeff Bezos? Bill Gates?

No? Well... me, neither.

In that case, I hope you'll consider attending (for several thousand dollars less!) the MarketingProfs B2B Marketing Forum this June in Boston, where TED speaker Barry Schwartz will keynote. Barry, the author of The Paradox of Choice, will present for us on the topic of his book-in-progress, Practical Wisdom.

I'm excited about meeting Barry, and I hope you can be there, too. Check out more details here.

BTW, we're heavily into the planning for our June and October live events. But there's still time for you to submit a speaker proposal, if you are interested in sharing your wisdom from a MarketingProfs podium.

We are looking for some interesting, innovative ideas to share with attendees at our in-person events later this year. So got a great idea? Shout it out here!

Meanwhile, our (free!) virtual event on April 1 is shaping up nicely. In fact, as of yesterday, more than 11,750 of you had registered to attend Digital Marketing World, featuring keynote David Plouffe. Will you be there, too?

p.s. And finally: Are you on Twitter? We are, too! Follow me, CEO Allen Weiss, or Seminar Den Mother Shelley Ryan.
