Word of MouthWouldn't you like to be at WOMBAT too?

by David Binkowski

The Word of Mouth Marketing Association has 12 reasons (+ a $100 bonus coupon code) why you should attend the Word of Mouth Basic Training (WOMBAT) conference Jan. 19 and 20 in Orlando. I'll add one more: I'll be there, sharing knowledge and giving away a few free exclusive Bob Lutz/GM Blogs/BlogWorks T-shirts for attendees of my panel on "How To Create a Corporate Blog." To get a T-shirt, come talk to me after my panel.

12 Reasons + 1 unusual reason to attend the WOMBAT conference:

  1. Amazing feast at Disney's Animal Kingdom: We've taken over Disney's Animal Kingdom for you. Enjoy a truly magnificent African feast fit for a lion king (or any other wild beasts). The party is free with your conference registration.

  2. Nice take-home gifts -- not swag: A really great backpack, golf balls compliments of Taylor-made adidas, and more gifts you will actually use

  3. Free books from the keynote speakers: Every attendee will receive a copy of books from keynote speakers Fred Reichheld, Bob Garfield, and Scott Ginsberg absolutely free.

  4. New Yorker cartoons: Get inspired and laugh a little as famous New Yorker Cartoon Editor Bob Mankoff will present a unique collection of the best cartoons about word of mouth.

  5. Budget-friendly: Cheap flights, resort rooms for only $129/night, free airport shuttle

  6. Make it a vacation: Bring your family and make it a working vacation. You'll get deep discounts on theme park tickets, golf, and more.

  7. Free CD of conference audio: Miss a speaker or want to review a particular presentation?
    Don't worry. Every attendee will receive a free CD with recordings of the entire event.

  8. Small-group lunch with famous authors: Eat, chat, and learn with the people who literally wrote the book on word of mouth: Jackie Huba, Creating Customer Evangelists Ed Keller & Jon Berry, The Influentials, George Silverman, Secrets of Word of Mouth Marketing; Douglas Atkin, The Culting of Brands;
  9. Intense networking: Guaranteed real, deep interaction with speakers, experts and peers. No aloof speakers who walk out the door -- we're all here to learn together.

  10. 60+ expert speakers: There have never been more word of mouth marketing experts
    in one place, ever. Everyone you've wanted to meet is going to be here.

  11. 16 real-world case studies: Action, not theory. Hear about solid data, real results
    and lessons you won't find anywhere else.

  12. 16 how-to courses: Learn the nuts-and-bolts of actual word of mouth campaigns
    from the real experts -- people succeeding in the field.

  13. BONUS Top Secret Discount Code: Use Code "topsecretdiscount" to save $100.
    Share it with a friend. Normal price is $795 for WOMMA members, or $1095 for non-members.

It's been a hectic month already with CES, but I would have loved to go and heckle you from the audience (I could think of fun Detroit insults, being a native).

If you have extra shirts, I'm a medium or a large. :)
