Upcoming Event!
Posted on June 22nd, 2010 No commentsAre you going to BlogHer Business ’10 this August?
If you are a company that markets to women, you should be! The BlogHer Business Conference is described as “an annual “crash course” on best practices for reaching the most influential and powerful consumers — women online — in the quickly evolving social media world.”
Last year, the roughly 200 attendees learned from awesome social media success stories like Coach and Fiskars. This year is shaping up to be even more exciting — and not just because I’ll be speaking on a panel with 3 fantastic social media leaders (BlogHer’s co-founder and COO, Elisa Camahort Page, Stacey Ferguson from the FTC, and WOMMA’s Executive Director, Kristen Smith).
Here’s the description of our panel:
The FTC Guidelines have been a hot topic for the majority of the year – but have they had any significant impact on how marketers and bloggers do business? What changes have we seen in social media marketing as a result? What kinds of enforcement actions have been taken? Are you and the brands or bloggers you work with in compliance with the new rules?
Hope to see you in New York! (The regular BlogHer conference is sold out, but you can still get tickets for BlogHer Business ’10.)
