Today in New York City, The Marketing Consigliere strode into the New York Hilton and put on his TWTRCON badge. Why? First, to be around like-minded professionals who see the value of Twitter for businesses. Second, to promote the B2B Twitterer of the Year Awards program, which The Marketing Consigliere founded in order to recognize B2B marketing organizations for outstanding contributions in practicing, promoting, and/or enhancing business via the micro-blogging and social networking sensation Twitter.
So what goes on at a conference for Twitter? Lots of things with lots of Tweeps…
