Shortest marketing conference ever

On July 6 at 6:00 pm eastern, 60 thinkers speak for 60 seconds each about how to increase your digital influence.

The Influencer Project

I’ll be one of the presenters. It is a stellar lineup.

It’s kind of liberating to only have 60 seconds to speak. I boiled down a typical one-hour keynote into one minute. And 59 others did the same.

Cool.

The organizers setup for our short talks was: We want to empower as many people as possible to make a big impact in the world—ideally while pursuing their deepest passions. What are the critical tactics and strategies you need to be implementing online right now in order to attract more customers and earn greater trust with prospects?

Conference organized by ThoughtLead, sponsored by Hubspot with additional partners MarketingProfs and Read Write Web. Social Media Press Release announcing the event here.

I've got this marked in my calendar. I'm looking forward to hearing what the other 59 people have to say in only 60 seconds each!

This sounds like an excellent session - thanks for making sure we knew about it. I'm looking forward to it.

[Tim Washer]

A 60 second speech? what's that, about 37 PowerPoint charts?

[David Siteman Garland]

I'll also be speaking, David. Looking forward to it.

60 seconds can be a lot, depending on your message. To test this, I just read the Gettysburg Address aloud ... in under 60 seconds. A ton of meaning in a minute, depending on who's writing the stuff!

[David Meerman Scott]

Tim, 60 seconds is one of your dramatic comedic pauses.

[CBriddell]

Thanks again David for joining us at the Influencer Project. Your 60 seconds was brilliant.

@Ron Blau: Agree! You can definitely say a lot in 60 seconds!

I think it was Winston Churchill that said it was harder to deliver a 2 hour speech then a 10 minute one...you have to get right to the point and end up with the essence of your message. No fluff.

[CBriddell]

Err... rather, it's harder to deliver a 10 minute speech then a 2 hour speech. You know what I meant!

[Ricardo Bueno]

David: This sounds really cool/unique. Kind of challenging but effective when you're forced to say something with meaning in less than 60 seconds.

[Pablo Edwards]

So pumped for this event, amazing how much planning goes into these one minute talks. Should get tons of gems, I hope I can keep up on note taking!
