I’m going to Basic Training next week

My friend, Dave Coustan, IMed this morning and asked if I was attending WOMBAT 2007, the Word of Mouth Marketing Association’s conference being help here in New Orleans next week. Ironically enough, I hadn’t heard of the event, but I love conferences (and this one is in New Orleans), so I have to go.

Long story short, I was able to get a press pass as a blogger to the event! I’m totally stoked. The full, two-day conference pass for non-members was around $1200, so because of blogging, I’m able to attend this amazing event. Thanks blogging. Thanks Voodoo blog.

I plan on live blogging as much as I can next week, so check back for juicy bits of marketing savvy.

Check out some of the big brands that are going to be there:
