Agenda
OMS 2009 features all new content. We've incorporated the feedback from past OMS events to create all NEW "Acumen Tracks" to address various levels of expertise. With tracks designed to meet the unique needs of beginner, intermediate, and expert-level practitioners, the content of the summit will allow attendees to educate themselves at a foundational level on a topic unfamiliar to them, or deep-dive into a topic they want to learn more about. This year we have ALL NEW content and speakers as well as:
- Online Marketing Certification Courses
- Pre-Conference Career Fair
- Expert and Vertical Tracks
- Financial Aid for Individuals paying their own way
If you can't find something of interest every hour of the day, then you really should be the one teaching!
