If you work in corporate marketing and want to reach an active, engaged audience that’s interested in taking their digital marketing and sales strategies to the next level, consider applying to be a speaker at DemandCon San Francisco, to be held April 15 and 16, 2013.
DemandCon isn’t just a premier sales, marketing and alignment conference—it’s a heck of a lot of fun, too. I had a blast speaking at the recent show in Boston, and can guarantee that San Francisco will be just as amazing.
You’re welcome to submit a speaking proposal on any topic related to sales, marketing or alignment, but presentations on content and strategy are in especially high demand. Here’s a list of other high priority topics:
- Demand and lead generation strategies
- Marketing automation
- Content strategies
- Buyer personas
- Lead management
- Sales enablement
- Sales training and tools
- Social media
- Sales and marketing alignment
- Multi-department or location alignment
- Customer life cycle management
- Dashboards and reporting
See something on the list that’s in your wheelhouse? Submit a Word document with your program abstract and speaker bio to Shawn Elledge, DemandCon creator, at shawn[at]demandcon[dot]com.
There’s no deadline, but a finite amount of speaking slots are available, so submit your abstract as soon as possible for consideration. Service and technology providers are welcome to submit abstracts, too, but you must co-present with a client to be selected.
Need a little more encouragement? Don’t just take my word for it. Yori Nelken, President & CEO of Leadspace.com, had this to say about this year’s DemandCon San Francisco event:
“DemandCon is a rightly sized, highly targeted conference where you can find colleagues facing the same challenges as you do. This is a great place to learn and expand your toolset.”
So what the heck are you waiting for? Submit an abstract today—you’ll be in great company, I promise!
