Quite simply, everybody who is anybody in the online personal industry will be at the show. This is where business gets done! Also a great source of up to date information and intell. on the industry.

There were some killer marketing lectures last year. Looks like more people and an even more impressive line up of speakers.

See you there.

Just wondered who is coming to this event, not sponsors and exhibitors. Would like to meet up on Wednesday night. I am flying in on Wednesday and hoped to talk. Will there be any casual meetings on Wednesday night?

Look forward to your reply
