Here's what some of the attendees from the 2010 Content Marketing Summit had to say:

Ann Handley - Chief Content Officer at Marketing Profs
"A year ago I went to ten24's Content Marketing Summit because I was in the middle of writing Content Rules, and I wanted to get a sense of what real businesses were struggling with in regards to content marketing. What I loved about ten24's event was the intimate atmosphere, the real-world experiences attendees shared, and the practical answers and solutions that came out of it. It's a great, local event to help you understand what the Content Marketing revolution means to you, in your business, and why you should care about content."

Rachel Levy - Founder of WebinarListings
"The Content Marketing Summit was one of the best seminars I’ve been to in a long time. I attended for two reasons: to learn more about B2B marketing, and to learn more about Webinars, given my newly launched WebinarListings business.  What was great about the seminar, is that it was short (yes, that’s important!), and had speakers from different companies who were experts in their area, and were NOT SALESY.  Overall, it was a day well spent!"
