2011 Conference Recap
Thank you for attending BarkWorld 2011!
The 2011 conference provided over 300 attendees with a new foundation for the business of social media and allowed sponsors the opportunity to have many discussions about products, news and insight to the future of brand marketing for pet owners.
Our opening keynote by Ted Rheingold, Founder of Dogster & Catster, gave us a look into his successes with Dogster/Catster and challenged us to be clear on our visions for success no matter what obstacles we may face. Our other keynotes, Victoria Stilwell, Star of It’s Me or the Dog,and Jelena Woehr, Yahoo! Contributor Network, both provided keen inspiration for business, blogging and being charitable.
In between our keynotes, we heard from a diverse group of well-educated speakers, learned a plethora of new tech-tricks and created many conversations that will clearly continue beyond our time together in Atlanta.
I want to personally thank every speaker, sponsor, exhibitor and attendee that joined us for 2.5 days of social petworking! I look forward to seeing you, and new friends, in October 25-27, 2012. Please find below links and information from our recap.
Thank You,
Denise Quashie
Founder of BarkWorld Conference & Expo
