Four weeks ago, we announced the first-ever Inbound Marketing Bootcamp in northeast Wisconsin, set for May 21st at the Bridgewood Resort & Conference Center in Neenah, WI. At that time, we were able to announce who had committed to present, which on it's own was exciting and more than enough information for dozens of registrants to sign up early. But for those of you in the "I'll wait until I see the agenda" camp (been there!), now we've eliminated that excuse.
Here's the final agenda, with the blessings of all presenters:
