B2B Camp Atlanta was this weekend. It’s an unconference-style event, and for those who have never been before here’s the gist:

  • The break-out sessions are voted on the morning of the event
  • Speakers get 30 seconds to pitch their sessions and try to get attendees to vote for them
  • Pitching a session in front of a room full of B2B marketers and techies (350+ attendees) is terrifying
  • Pitching a session in front of a room full of B2B marketers and techies is kind of fun

My Session: Offering SEO Services to Your Clients: The Opportunities & Challenges

I pitched a session called “Offering SEO Services to Your Clients: The Opportunities & Challenges.” It was intended to be a roundtable closed mastermind session comprised of fellow freelancers, consultants, and marketers who could come together to discuss SEO/online marketing services and….you guessed it…opportunities and challenges.

While my session got selected, a technical glitch prevented my session from occurring. Don’t ask. Not sure what happened. Super sad about it. There’s always next year!

2. John Peltier of Johnpeltier.com: Inbound Marketing Techniques for Personal Branding

  • My biggest takeaway? You must have an active, targeted presence online if you are a marketing professional existing in the year 2013. Resistance is futile. DO IT. And have a specialty. That helps tremendously. Oh, and write an ebook. That helps too.

3. Brandy Nagel, Author of Digitally Famous: Strategic Snooping: Using Social Media to Check Up on Clients and Competitors

  •  Biggest Takeaway: Two words – Google Alerts. I honestly think Google Alerts are a very underused tool. I use Google Alerts to keep track of my important keywords, competitors, my brand and reputation, industry research, content ideas, etc.
