We are getting closer. At the end of next month, the Midwest’s premier digital marketing event – Social Brand Forum 2013 – will be here. As preparations continue, I have some exciting news to share today. 

Many of you have asked for the complete agenda as you manage your busy schedules and plan for the fall ahead. We’ve been wanting to make sure that we had our lineup just right before sharing with you. Today the wait is over. Below please find the complete agenda for this fall’s Social Brand Forum. Please take a look and remember — if you haven’t done so already — please register now to ensure the best price.

As you can see, it’s similar to last year’s schedule with our event kicking off after lunch on day one with our opening keynote from New York Times best-selling author Jay Baer. We then have talks from Laura Fitton and Lee Odden. I’m also eager to announce that day one of the Social Brand Forum ends with a special live episode of Jay Baer’s popular podcast featuring real people doing real work in social media, Social Pros. Like last year, we’ll also venture over to Vesta for drinks and a sampling of their wonderful appetizer lineup.

For those who want to get an early start on day two, we’ll be offering complementary yoga for those who want to participate. Gini Dietrich kicks off our day with a new talk about her upcoming book, Spin Sucks. From here, we’ll have a day of engaging speakers including Monica Vernon, Tim Washer, Marcus Sheridan, and DJ Waldow. Our event closes with a bold keynote from Jason Falls, which is bound to fire you up and send you back to your organization to create content, conversations, and community.

As networking is an important part of an event like this, we’ve also brought back our popular Birds of a Feather networking breaks for you to collaborate with others from similar organizations or others who may be working through the same challenges you are.

Here’s the complete schedule for this fall’s Social Brand Forum.

Of course we couldn’t do any of this without the generous support of our sponsors including ExactTarget, Fusionfarm, GroSocial, Hubspot, Zephyr Printing & Design, Don’t Panic Management, DivvyHQ, Vesta, and Mediacom.

See you next month at the Iowa River Landing!
