Being Cheryl: Social Media Marketing Strategist from Columbus, Ohio.

I’m sitting at the airport about to board my flight to Boston, Mass for the Inbound Marketing Summit with friend and fellow social media aficionado Nate Riggs.

The Inbound Marketing Summit is a marketing conference bringing together experts in the field of new media marketing to share the latest strategies, tools, and best practices to utilize new marketing methods to grow your business. Social media gurus like Chris Brogan, Justin Levy, Brian Solis and Jason Falls will be around to share their insights. (That was heavily plagiarized marketing copy. Oops!)

So Nate and I are super excited about this trip - not only do we get to hear from 70 - that’s right, there are SEVENTY speakers, no break out tracks, I get (have) to listen to 70 freakin’ people speak - of the brightest minds in social media communication, but we also get to meet and hang out with them. Rad.

Tonight we’re heading to a small tweetup with Wine Library TV’s Gary Vaynerchuck and some of the other folks who are attending the conference. The next two days will be full of soaking in info and like a sponge. I am a good idea sponge until Friday.

…and let’s be honest, there will probably be some heavy drinking. I mean c’mon. It’s me, people.

Anyway - Nate and I will both be posting photos, videos, Tweets and blogs to share the conference with those of you who are unable to attend but want to be good idea sponges, too, so be sure to check back here, Nate’s blog, my Twitter steam, Nate’s Twitter stream and my Flickr to follow along!
