The Art Of Marketing Is Coming To Chicago

The Art of Marketing is coming to Chicago on April 24th, 2012.

I’m very excited to announce that The Art of Marketing full-day leadership summit is happening in Chicago on April 24th, 2012 at The Chicago Theater. As you can see by the agenda, the line-up is out of this world. I have the honor of sharing the stage with Seth Godin (Purple Cow, Linchpin, Poke The Box, etc…), Gary Vaynerchuk (Crush It and The Thank You Economy), Keith Ferrazzi (Never Eat Alone and Who’s Got Your Back), Avinash Kaushik (Web Analytics – An Hour A Day and Web Analytics 2.0) and Facebook‘s former head of Marketing, Randi Zuckerberg (I believe you know her brother ;). Like I said, this is a marketing line-up and a full-day of learning like no other.

You can buy a ticket or you can win a ticket.

If you would like a chance to win one of four pairs of VIP tickets to The Art of Marketing in Chicago (which means four winners – each winner gets two tickets), all you have to do is leave a comment below about the marketing book that changed your life (and why) or the one marketing book that you can’t wait to read (and why). The deadline for entries will be April 13th, 2012 at 12 pm ET and the winners will be announced by 5 pm on that same day. If you win, you have to cover everything else (travel, accommodations, etc… are not included… it’s just the tickets). A VIP ticket gives you:

Express VIP entrance.
Reserved premier seating in the first five rows
Exclusive VIP three course Lunch.
An eco-friendly tote bag and personal spiral bound notebook.
Copies of featured bestselling business books:

Poke The Box by Seth Godin.
The Thank You Economy by Gary Vaynerchuk.
Signed copy of my first book, Six Pixels of Separation.

If you don’t want to risk it, buy your tickets now (with this special promo code)…

These events always sell-out (and this one is expected to have almost two thousand attendees!), so if you don’t want to risk the contest, the kind folks at The Art of Marketing have a special offer for the Six Pixels of Separation community:

Six Pixels promo: Use the promo code: TWIST. This will give you a savings of $50.00 per ticket or $100 per ticket when registering three or more people at the same time. If you prefer, you can also register by phone: 1 (866) 992-7863 (just be sure to mention your promo code).

I hope to see you there.

I spend the entire day at these events hanging out, meeting people but more importantly, listening and learning from the other speakers. Next to the TED conference, these are the events that I attend to learn, grow and expand my marketing horizons. I not only hope to see you there (and please come over to say "hi" if you do), but I hope that you take this opportunity to learn and grow right along with me.

I’ll see you at The Art of Marketing in Chicago!

*UPDATE* – WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
