In his blog post on Friday, raving lunacy: Social Media as Conversational Marketing Alan Herrell, aka the Head Lemur, posted a super synopsis, complete with photos and links, of yesterday's Revolution in Marketing Conference, hosted by the Phoenix Social Media Club.

Organized by Francine Hardaway and held at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, the conference featured keynote sessions from Social Media Club founder Chris Heuer and alpha blogger and social media guru Robert Scoble, as well as panels featuring a variety of perspectives on the use of social media.

In addition to having the opportunity to talk with Chris and Robert during lunch after the event, I especially enjoyed meeting and talking with Diva of Details, Kristie Wells of the Social Media Club (and fiancee' of Chris,) Pamela Slim of EscapeFromCubicleNation.com, who spoke about her experiences in launching her blog during the first panel session, Joshua Manley of UStrive.com and Jon Ford of St. Luke's Health Initiatives.

Asked about the next big thing in social media, Chris Heuer mentioned Twitter, a cool site that provides a way to keep up with what's up with friends using quick updates that can be delivered by RSS or text messages to mobile phones. (You may have noticed the Twitter info on this page--I'm a little intimidated by the adventures of other Twitter users versus my comparably boring schedule, but, what the heck, I signed up, anyway!)

All, in all, the Revolution in Marketing Conference was an inspiring and educational experience!
