Quote:These guys are the real deal. If you do anything with email, you need to be plugged into their content. It's all real world experience and RESLULTS. Money talks, bullshit walks. They know their stuff and now you know it too. I pulled a set of MP3s for those on the go. The Magic Shrink Ray™ reduced the file size by about 55%.

MarketingSherpa’s Email Marketing Summit was held Feb. 7-10, 2012, in Las Vegas
World’s largest vendor-neutral, science-based email event unites industry’s thought leaders MarketingSherpa will bring together the top B2B and consumer marketers at their eighth annual Email Marketing Summit, Feb. 7 – 10, at the Caesar’s Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Actionable training, grounded in rigorous research based on real-world experience, will provide marketers the knowledge to overcome their most pressing email challenges.
“We developed this summit to give marketers an opportunity to come to a single event and learn the best ideas that the brightest people are using to drive results and revenues through email marketing,” says Todd W. Lebo, MarketingSherpa’s Senior Director of Content and Business Development.
“Email marketing is in a continuous state of transformation. What worked five years ago, and even last year, may not work today,” he continues. “To achieve our goals, the focus must be on what really works: practical, new email marketing tactics, knowledge and expertise that marketers can use to get – and stay – ahead of their competition. That’s why our event is vendor- neutral – you’ll never hear a sales pitch from the podium.”
Taught by leading experts and in-the-trenches marketers, B2B and consumer education tracks will ensure attendees learn to leverage social media, improve email performance, drive revenue, grow email lists, engage prospects, improve email deliverability, integrate mobile marketing, stretch resources, and more. Four power-packed days of practical hands-on training will provide:
Interactive, how-to training sessions on email and social media integration, mobile, list growth tactics, relevancy, deliverability and measurement.
Multiple case studies, war stories and lessons learned. Past speakers include marketers from Oracle, Siemens, Cisco Systems, among many others.
