Thanks for the mention
I put my slides up online etc. for those that missed the conference. Some of the speakers recorded on video their presentation – check Stewart Media for example.

I mentioned that we’d been to the conference to number of marketing clients none of which knew that it had taken place. Maybe the same people keep attending the same conferences just talking to each other…

I think it’s interesting how MarketingNow were charging thousands of dollars entrance fee a couple of weeks ago then all of a sudden changed this. Was this because of Chris Bogan or bad RSVP response?

Regardless, there are some speakers there who I would have loved to see such as Darren, Laurel and Armano.

@Martyn I think that as more and more companies wise-up on how effective social media can be for businesses, yes, demand should increase in the next couple of months. I think FrankVizeum will be in a good place

A great conference! One key learning for me was that social business strategy is about the people not the technology. Unlike ‘Interactive’ marketing which involves TECHNOLOGY < --> HUMAN interaction, Social Marketing is PEOPLE < --> PEOPLE with technology as just the enabler. Thanks to Armano for this insight.

Do you think there will be a time of collective realisation followed by an avalanche of demand for social media practitioners in the next 12 months?

I thought Armano was great, wish he had more examples of brands taking on “social business strategy” though. It’s so new here in Australia but my bet is that in the next two years “social business” will become the way organisations communicate internally and externally.
