A Note to Readers
from Ann Handley
Chief Content Officer

Join Us Thursday!

Shelley Ryan, the Nerve Center of our Virtual Seminar business, lives in an area of Houston that remains without some fundamentals. Like hot water. And working appliances.

As Shelley wrote yesterday, "Talk about getting primitive... No power, no hot water, no air conditioning (!!), and worst of all, no internet connection in my neck of Houston yet. "Never fear!" she added. "We've got one running on propane for you this week."

Shelley's talking about this Thursday's What's Hot, What's Not in Online Marketing: A Sneak Peek at the MarketingProfs Digital Marketing Mixer, which kicks off at 12 PM Eastern on September 25. The hour-long seminar is free to all members.

If you're still pondering whether to join us in Arizona for two days next month, this free, 60-minute broadcast will help you decide. Moderator Rohit Bhargava leads some key presenters from that conference in a discussion on the digital issues marketers are facing today. You'll hear from:

Stephanie Miller of Return Path, the Email Track Chair, on what makes customers respond
Stephan Spencer, the Search Track Chair, on search and website emergencies
Your Field Guide to your social media forays, Connie Reece
Social Media ROI guru Katie Paine
The village matchmaker of email and social media, Greg Cangialosi

Want another good reason to attend? Tune into the entire broadcast because at the end, we're going to randomly choose someone from the audience to receive two free nights at the Radisson Ft. McDowell Resort and Casino, October 22nd & 23rd. (A $400 value!)

Register here. Please drop in and check it out. Shelley wouldn't miss it, she says, even if it means she has to dodge debris to do so.
