We're freezing here in Chicago.

Good thing Mark is taking us to the social media conference in Vegas next month.

We'll be getting premier training from some of the best in the biz:

• Chris Brogan
• Brian Solis
• PR Daily and Ragan.com CEO Mark Ragan
• Salesforce.com's Marcus Nelson
• Discovery's Gayle Weiswasser
• GM's Rebecca Harris
• National Public Radio's Sarah Lumbard
• Southwest Airlines' Laurel Moffat
• … and more.

And learning some top-shelf communications strategies:

• An integrated approach to social media: How Alaska Airlines collaborates using social media–in an emergency or in a marketing campaign;
• How to go from zero to one million engaged fans in one year: Tactics from the NCAA that worked—and those that didn't;
• Secrets of a stellar corporate blog: Determine who should blog, who has the time, how much it will cost—lessons from salesforce.com;
• You built it, they came: How to keep your fans engaged once you have them from Discovery Communications.

Check out the conference agenda.

We're also webcasting the event, so you can still get the same training as attendees — but without all the travel costs!
