A few weeks ago we published a post announcing this year’s first agency bootcamp on social media event in Chicago. To help support this event–as well as the other upcoming events–we launched a brand new homepage for AgencyBootcamp.com last week.

What do you think? Seemed to have worked because the Chicago event has sold out!

New York City Registration Open

New York City here we come! With the launch of the new homepage for AgencyBootCamp.com we also opened registration for the New York City event next month. We have 60 sign-ups already so if you’re in the NYC area–or know someone who is–and are interested in attending click here to register. The New York event is a FREE breakfast and I have a feeling it will fill-up very quickly.

Here’s a quick peek at the Panelists and event Moderators:
