We're less than a week away from the upcoming social media and SEO boot camp here in Nashville. I'm looking forward to diving into social media strategy, best practices, case studies, social media ROI, and sharing my planning methodology with the attendees.

The event is this Monday, July 19 at Lipscomb University. We'll start at 8:30 and conclude at 4:00 that afternoon. Lunch will be provided to all attendees.
