The conversational marketing summit is June 9-10 in New York.

An excerpt from the site to give you an idea of the scope :

To keep building our brands, we have to go where the audience has gone. And every month, more than 600 million people visit conversational media sites -foreign lands when it comes to brand marketing. Or ....are they?
  • What kind of marketing works in social media?
  • Which of the lessons learned from marketing in traditional media apply when the audience joins the conversation?
  • Why will we pay an $80 CPM to reach women, 18-34, in Vogue, but just $3 to reach the same audience online?
  • What do we make of the promised new platforms from Google, AOL, Microsoft, and Yahoo?
  • Are CPC networks simply harvesting the hard won brand value we've built offline?
  • How does one create engagement and build brands in the context of conversational media?
  • What are the online analogs to the executions we so love in magazines and television, and how do we execute them?
  • Who's already doing it right, and how?
Praized will be there to cover the event and enjoy all the interesting places around...
For Where attendees, salon E (second floor) at the SFO Marriott.

Praized could have almost made the launchpad but we are not quite ready yet for prime time, but grab me in the corridors for a one-on-one demo of our platform, API and blog plugins for Movable Type and Wordpress.

I'm really looking forward hearing the talks tonight, all the Ignite events I went to have been really thought provoking and entertaining.

Praized Media's CTO and co-founder Sylvain Carle is attending Where 2.0 conference next week in Burlingame from May 12 to May 14.  For that purpose, the Web2Places.com website is now morphing into a Where2Places website showcasing nearby businesses, venues and local events happening around the Where 2.0 conference.

The conference is at the San Francisco Airport Marriott, right next door to SFO.  I had the chance to stay there last December and it's great!  Check out the indoor pool.
