The uber good-looking and talented Phil Gerbyshak, a totally true BBFF, sent me this information eons ago and I am very bad in not announcing it sooner... but, today, yes TODAY, dear readers, you can join the Personal Branding Summit at which the outstanding Make It Great Phil will be speaking.

Now, that should be quite enough to get you over to the summit at this link, but if it's not enough to entice...let me drop a few more names.

You will get to listen to Guy Kawasaki, a Smart Man Online, if ever there was (is) one. If your brand is important to you, Guy's the guy to open your eyes.

How about Andy Sernovitz, author of Word of Mouth Marketing and now blogging at "Damn! I Wish I'd Thought of That!" Now, if you read my review of his book you know he's a Top 10 in the whole branding word of mouth world... not someone you want to miss listening to...today.

Hop over to the program schedule...and get thee to Neville Hobson's "Express Your Personal Brand Through the Power of Podcasting," then listen to David Meerman Scott talk "Promoting Brand You with Viral Marketing on the Web." Our marketing manager, George, swears by David's book.

Well, what are you waiting for? This is a 12-hour, awesome event... and...Phil tells me it will be recorded, for all, forever. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't attend today...it means you can attend today, learn a whole lot, and then go back again and again to keep your information fresh.

Thanks for reminding about this via phone last night, Phil. You really are the GREATEST!
