I strongly believe in conferences and I believe that there are specific conferences for specific purposes. There are many out there I’d still love to get to one day one of those being the PromaxBDA Conference. When I was first asked to share about this conference I had to google it to see if it would really be a good fit. This conference looks amazing and the people who are going to be in attendance and speaking are just that! This conference is a must see and the learning you’ll gain and the connections you’ll make will far exceed the price of the conference.
If you’re in the marketing field this is definitely the conference for you!
