Dear 

Greetings from Cleveland, the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm at Content Marketing World ready to teach my Content Curation Workshop. As I've said before, I think that content curation will be the BIG content marketing trend of 2015 because businesses need to be part of their community. This translates to sharing other people's content and commentary.

Content Marketing World is one of my favorite events of the year. Joe Pulizzi and his team work every single detail, no matter how small. It's one of those events that continues to get better every year.

If you're at Content Marketing World, please come up and say hello. I'm always excited to meet my readers IRL.

Don't feel badly if you can't be at Content Marketing World. I'll be writing about my experiences. Also, I hope to be able to share the best (but that depends on the wifi.)

Happy marketing,
Heidi Cohen,  Chief Content Officer - Actionable Marketing Guide
