If you didn’t make it to the Moscone Center this year for the fitness industry’s largest event, we’ll be giving you some inside access to some of this year’s top speakers.
If you're a marketer, you probably already know Seth Godin, whether you read his blog, own all of his books, or have seen one of his impressive speaking engagements. If you don't already know him, you should.
Godin is a best-selling author, entrepreneur and agent of change. His ten books have been best sellers around the world and changed the way people think about marketing, change, and work. His most recent titles include The Dip and Meatball Sundae. His latest book, Purple Cow, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, is all about how companies can transform themselves by becoming remarkable.
I love Seth Godin! I've read all of his books.
- Casey Conrad, President, Communication Consultants
Godin was recently chosen as one of 21 Speakers for the Next Century by Successful Meetings. He was founder and CEO of Yoyodyne, the industry's leading interactive direct marketing company, which Yahoo! acquired in late 1998. He holds an MBA from Stanford, and was called "the Ultimate Entrepreneur for the Information Age" by Business Week.
