With 42 sessions at this year's B2B Marketing Forum in Boston, you can bet there was a lot to love, but one of the sessions that really got the audience talking was Larry Smith's Keynote: The Story of the Six-Word Memoir Project: The Power of Choosing One Simple Idea.
So, along those lines, here are some six-word stories that capture the spirit of this year's event. Hope to hear your story at the next one!
"Tell your story in 6 words."
