We’ve been wrapping up the pieces to the exciting edSocialMedia Summit that we hosted on April 4 in San Francisco, where more than 110 attendees gathered together to listen to seven knock-out speakers share their experiential knowledge with our community.

The day was a great success, and we’ve shared many of the presentations in this blog post.

As we begin to prepare for the next Summit event in New England, who would you like to see on the stage? Think BIG and BOLD, and leave us a comment below. We are seeking the best in the business (kinda like the group below).
