Sherpa always provides me with golden nuggets of information that I can put into practice right away. Thanks!" Tom Ehart, Online Marketing Manager BNA Tax & Accounting "MarketingSherpa promised that the Summit sessions would be presented by marketers, not vendor salespeople. Having been to enough conferences where that occurred, I wasn t sure if they d actually make true on that promise but, without a doubt, they did! The presentations covered a wide variety of & social media topics, presented by speakers ranging from hard-charging entrepreneurs, to expert-voice PHD s to softspoken, confident lead gen specialists.
