Building Trust In A Connected World Summit
Over three months ago, Chris Brogan, Mitch Joel and Julien Smith challenged their readers around the world to be leaders. They said, “Build an audience, buy some books and we’ll travel to your community for a ‘Building Trust In A Connected World Summit.’”
Clearly, they wanted to sell some books. But, I believe, they also wanted to ensure that the concepts and beliefs in their books were shared.
Well, we took their challenge.
How? By assembling a full-fledged Trust Summit (sponsored by the OTA Sessions) in Sioux Falls, featuring the dynamic lineup of Chris Brogan, Julien Smith and Mitch Joel as well as an added discussion panel to allow for even more audience interaction and engagement.
So how will this work? Easy. Your ticket to the OTA Sessions on March 26 also grants you admission to the Trust Summit. These two events will be held that day in the same venue (the beautiful, historic Orpheum Theatre).
The best part? If you’re one of the first 200 to buy tickets, you’ll receive the three authors’ books (Trust Agents by Brogan/Smith and Six Pixels of Separation by Joel).
So, if you want to attend the Trust Summit from 8:00 am to noon on March 26th, grab your OTA Sessions ticket at www.OTASessions.com and be ready for an eye-opening experience.
Are you ready?
