    Thanks for including my Pinterest article, Adrian!  I have been so intrigued by it that I included a lesson on Pinterest in my “How to Market a Seminar with Social Media” online course.

    There are just so many possibilities to have fun with this!

    In case you were worried, #Pinterest changed its terms of service today, now explicitly saying that they won’t sell your content .

Testimonial

If it weren’t for the acceptance of well entrenched traditional conferences, I would think that peer conferences would be the only thing that people would consider attending—that is if they really cared about getting the most from the event. — Pat Cook
