98% of attendees surveyed would recommend the conference to their peers; Vocus to rebroadcast popular presentations
Lanham, MD. (PRWEB) July 07, 2011
Nearly all (98%) attendees surveyed said they would recommend the conference to their peers. Also receiving high marks from attendees were one-on-one sessions with Vocus professional services consultants, where attendees received free, private consultations helping them get more out of their Vocus system, half day hands-on training, session topics on making your communications more effective within social networks, online and through the media, and the speaker line-up, which included industry leaders David Meerman Scott, Scott Stratten, Peter Shankman and Ann Handley and customer speakers from organizations like Kelley Blue Book, Eloqua and the Make-a-Wish foundation.
Throughout the three days, PR and marketing professionals from companies like Gerber Childrenswear LLC, Sallie Mae, and Warner Bros. were able to network, listen to industry speakers, and attend workshops on issues including online reputation management, Facebook fan engagement, content marketing and outreach measurement.
On July 28th, Vocus will be hosting a free virtual conference where registrants will sit in on five Users Conference presentations featuring speakers Adam Singer (The Future Buzz), Peter Shankman (HARO), Gini Dietrich (Spin Sucks), Lee Odden (TopRank), and Valeria Maltoni (Conversation Agent). There will also be live Q&A following the presentations with all the presenters.
“Today, customers and journalists guide the conversation with businesses, learning everything they need to know about an organization long before ever reaching out to that organization,” says Bill Wagner, Chief Operating Officer at Vocus, Inc. “This year’s conference showed how important it is for all businesses and communicators – marketing and PR – to be active within networks, have an online presence, and reach out appropriately to the media and bloggers. In essence, to be everywhere potential customers and media are looking.”
It wasn’t just the attendees who were impressed. Conference speakers also tweeted and blogged about the success of the conference:
