Read What People Say About The Social Media Optimization Summit

“This event will open your eyes to many possibilities.”

“Perfect setting for professions looking to build, gain and network in a hands on environment. Many times I attend conferences, but they are usually large where you have little ability to network and discuss/share ideas on such an intimate level. The conference was well organized, well thought out and had something to offer all levels of experience in Social Media marketing. I enjoyed networking with individuals I have connected with on Twitter as well as meeting so many talented and compassionate people who are all willing to help and share. Truly enjoyed the experience and left feeling empowered, motivated and a new level confidence that I can do this!” – Kim Cory, Sales / Marketing Director, MGI Communities

“Left with a lot of useful information that I could start using the minute I returned back to work.”

“I was utterly blown away at the lineup. I’m not in the multi-family industry; I simply came because I knew just how top-notch the speakers were. I was not disappointed. It seemed like the right mix of high-level learning and hands-on practicality.”

“This was really great. I learned a ton and it wasn’t as horribly overwhelming as some. It was smaller in nature and had more a classroom feel which I enjoyed.”

“There was so much energy and camaraderie between seminar attendees. Everyone was eager to learn and network.” – Jay Ehret, Chief Officer of Awesomeness, The Marketing Spot

“The Optimization Summits was beyond amazing! Every single workshop offered had exceptional leaders and tons of useable content. There was an abundance of knowledge to go away with in addition to the incredible networking opportunity. This conference is certainly one you MUST attend!” – Rebecca Ingold, Project Manager, JLC Southeast, LLC

“The Optimization Summit not only provided some of the most proven industry leaders in Social Media, but also current and relevant content to both multifamily marketers and operators. The chance to share this experience with a handful of the some of the brightest future multifamily leaders made it even that much more amazing. Well done to MultifamilyPro for once again knocking it out of the park and keeping this business fresh.” – Justin Dunckel, Vice President, Paragon Properties

“The format was great because it allowed time to talk to the people around you during the session and discuss the topic. Interaction went beyond just speaker to audience.”

“Hands-down the most interactive, do-it-now, engaging event that I’ve attended! If you want to take your social media efforts to the next level and really make them work for you, the Social Media Optimization Summit is where you need to be!”

“This was THE MOST informative conference I have ever attended!”

“Optimization Summit lets you have the hands-on opportunity to learn from the leading pros in social media solutions. I’ve never learned more from a 2 day conference – it was GREAT!”

“In my almost 30 years of being in the customer service business to the multifamily industry, the Optimization Summit experience was the single most engaging, jam-packed learning experience with which I’ve been involved. The social benefits of trust, cooperation and sharing between industry brand evangelists are unquestioned.”

“This event provided fundamentals for the multifamily industry to keep ahead of the curve. Looking outside the industry to help provide benchmarks for ourselves is what was provided at this conference. The education was inspirational and provided me the forward momentum to keep dipping my toes in the water and look for opportunities to take the plunge.”

“The content and speakers were top notch and represented the leaders in the industry. The classroom environment was perfect for learning as each person had the opportunity to use their own laptop to apply and learn instantly. Speakers were available to coach during the session which made the learning experience more effective. I recommend this summit to anyone who ‘gets it’ that there needs to be a conscious shift in how we as an industry do business. Otherwise they will be quickly left behind. Incredible job by Tami, Barbie and Mo. Once again you set the bar for standards of education in our business. THANK YOU!”

“I am the IT dir for Berkshire Property Advisors so I wasn’t coming to the summit from a marketing point of view but more from a security point of view. I frankly have been thinking of fb and twitter as just being ‘annoyances’ from a security point of view. Your conference and your speakers quickly changed my mind and having those hands on workshops helped educate and excite me. I now am becoming a cheerleader and promoter of social media. It is a wonderful set of tools and I am convinced that Berkshire needs to take full advantage of these applications.” Debbie Peggs, IT Director, Berkshire Property Advisors

“Thank you and I will be back in Sept!”

“This is a must attend event for those companies seeking ways to outsmart their competition. If you’re a company looking to stay stagnant then stay home and play with your DOS based programs.”

“This event gave me a 30,000 feet view of social media and allowed me to see more clearly through that very complex space. It will allow me to select strategically where my efforts should be focused and will cut dramatically on the time invested in effort that may not have met my needs.”

“OptSum is a high energy, high information conference. The available knowledge and resources are impressive.”

Don’t miss out next event on September 12-13, 2011 at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel & Spa, Phoenix, Arizona!
