I'm slated to debut my microMARKETING conference presentation at Brand ManageCamp in Las Vegas, am working on securing a couple more conference gigs, and am planning a few launch events to take place in September in New York. Look for parties, microMEETups and a half-day symposium featuring some great speakers (no - not just me; a couple of guys featured in the book) and more.
I'm looking to take the show on the road, both leading up to the launch and following it. So stay tuned for more details, as they become available. How?
