Like I said in a prior post, when I attended MarketingProfs B2B Forum several years ago, it changed my life (for the better!). Now I would like to add that 80% of the work I’m currently doing can be linked back to contacts I made at the Forum last year when I moderated a panel on content marketing.

Of course, your results may vary but I highly encourage you to attend this event (or the associated Tweetup) if you are in Boston next week. I say that on the one hand because they’ve given me a pass for promoting the event, but, on the other hand, I would say it even if they hadn’t. The MarketingProfs community is full of interesting, talented people and you will benefit from just being around them.

Oh yeah, and while there, you could even have the chance to talk with me, one-on-one, mano-a-mano, about blogging. Believe me, I’ve got a thing or two to tell you on that topic.

It’s still not too late to register and, I think, you can still get a $200 discount if you use the codeword “BLOG.”

I very much hope to see you there and, if you see me, come over and say “Hi.” I’m really tall!

Two years ago I attended the MarketingProfs B2B Forum in Boston and, frankly, it changed my life.

Aside from finally getting to meet the fabulous Ann Handley in person, I found myself connected to a community of smart, interesting, and engaged marketers that constitute the core of my professional network to this very day.

Well, guess what? MarketingProfs is hosting another B2B Forum May 3-5 at Boston’s Seaport Hotel. The emphasis on practical, actionable learning is one of the things that I’ve always valued about MarketingProfs events and, once again, they’ve assembled an impressive roster of speakers who will bring a ton of real-world experience and, more importantly, useful advice to the sessions they lead. I’ve met a number of these folks – Amy Black, Rachel Happe, Christina Kerley, David Thomas, Laura Ramos – and must say that they are smart, thoughtful marketers that, frankly, you can’t afford not to meet.

But wait, there’s more! MarketingProfs also does a great job lining up keynote speakers and this year is no exception. First, there’s David Weinberger, co-author of the runaway business hit, The Cluetrain Manifesto, who will be talking about what marketers are still missing about the digital economy. Secondly, attendees will also get a chance to hear Mitch Joel, who I saw at PodCamp several years ago and who remains one of the most humorous and thought-provoking speakers I’ve seen.

And if that’s not enough, I will be there in the role of Blog Therapist. Seriously.

It’s not to late to register and if you use the codeword “BLOG” then you’ll get yourself a $200 discount.

See ya there!
