Last week was a great week in Cleveland for the Content Marketing World Conference with 4,000 other Marketing, Creative, PR and Copywriting Content professionals.

There was so much to learn from the informative sessions, the top notch speakers and presenters, but it was also the opportunity to meet many peeps IRL (In Real Life), and it is the latter that really made the conference.

The keynotes were all equally great with Joe Pulizzi, Robert Rose, Tamsen Webster, Scott Stratten, Henry Rollins and Mindy Kaling – they each had a great message for each of us with many years of experience.

Until next year!
