According to Seth Godin, chances are good that any problems you have in business are "big ones," and the easy ones have already been solved. If you're in business, and you want to know how to grow or become more successful, you owe it to yourself to learn from the experts at The Art of Marketing Conference on March 19 at The Centre, 777 Homer Street, in Vancouver.
If you don't know acclaimed author, entrepreneur, marketer and public speaker Godin, that may be your biggest problem. His topic of presentation at The Art of Marketing Conference, drawn from bestselling books like Purple Cow and Tribes and More, will focus on "permission marketing," highlighting the benefits of creative thinking. Irreverent and insightful, Godin has been termed a "relentless marketer." You can read more of his pithy comments at Seth's Blog.
He and five other top business-innovation gurus will fill the agenda for this all-day conference. Doors open at 8:15 a.m., with Godin's presentation at 9 a.m. Additional speakers include Mitch Joel, bestselling author of Ctrl Alt Delete, who will speak on "Rebooting Your Business," and Keith Ferrazzi, who will present on collaborative problem-solving and discuss his "relationship action plan" to ensure team success and business growth.
Communication specialist Nancy Duarte will also take the podium to explain how to capture audience imagination and create excitement through the telling of stories. Duarte's message relates the importance of connecting with business customers through empathy.
The final two speakers are John Jantsch and Brian Wong. Jantsch, another believer in the power of authentic storytelling, will discuss inbound marketing, customer engagement and audience development and is expected to draw from his popular book, Duct Tape Marketing for his presentation. Wong, founder and CEO of Kiip and among Forbes 30 Under 30, will speak on "How to Stop Ruining & Start Rewarding Everyday Moments."
