The 2009 Shop.org Annual Summit at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas was the biggest event in Shop.org history with three full days of educational content, a bustling EXPO Hall, and endless networking opportunities.   We would like to thank our attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors for making the 2009 Annual Summit the largest and highest ranked Annual Summit in Shop.org history.  We hope that all who attended were able to walk away a bit inspired and armed with some research and key tactics you can implement to make sure your digital marketing is firing on all cylinders.  

If you attended the Summit and would like to relive the experience or if you were unable to attend and would like a taste of what you missed, please visit our 2009 Shop.org Annual Summit Blog, along with our list of Tweets from Summit attendees.   I also wanted to provide a link to a video on social networking that was played in between sessions at our Summit which was requested by many of our attendees.   

If you are a Shop.org member, please login to the Shop.org website and go to our complete recap page to download the available presentations for the sessions listed below.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this our best Annual Summit yet.  See everyone in Dallas next year!
