A glimpse at all our interactive sessions from September’s upcoming Summit in Boston
In yesterday’s Mequoda Daily, I provided highlights from a recent conversation with Bryan Welch, publisher and editorial director at Ogden Publishing, and mentioned how he will be a Keynote Presenter at our upcoming Mequoda Summit East 2011.
