One of the things I love about this event is that it’s such a cool format - with budgets getting cut and time at a premium, you’re able to experience the best part of an A-level conference without the headache of air travel and seeing all of those people you don’t like anyway.
(Not you. I totally can’t wait to see you again.)
The other cool thing - you can participate! There’s a live chat room, where you can talk amongst yourselves, as well as the ability to ask real-time questions of Now is Gone’s Geoff Livingston and Network Solutions Shashi Bellamkonda.
And of course you have the option to share what’s going on to your social networks and also track this event on Twitter by the #solutionsstars hashtag (What’s a hashtag?).
