Blog Business Summit is in Chicago! It’s September 17-19.
Steve Broback and Teresa Valdez Klein, the power behind Blog Business Summit, have pulled out the stops to make this year’s event shiny and new. It’s got the foundational values that has made past summits memorable, and more and deeper thoughts on revenues, metrics, customers, communities, bloggers, corporate blogging, entrepreneurial blogging, — the direction blogging is headed. Whew!
