Share

The evening started with a bit of excitement as the NorCal BMA team needed to demonstrate its agility in adapting to a last minute emergency in changing the venue for the talk.

Due to the availability of effective tools like email and social media, concerted effort in proper utilization of these channels by the team, and audience responsive to these channels of communication, the change went through flawlessly. The whole move was precipitated just a day prior to the meeting!

The panel of speakers, Adrian Ott, Sheryl Root, and Dave Lloyd, meshed their segments seamlessly and engaged the audience in a logical flow of exposure to Agile Marketing. They had presented this topic as a panel before and it showed.


Members have access to a video recording of the presentation and the slide deck that the panel used for their presentations.
