5 More Great Speakers for Authority Intensive (Event Now Sold Out)

Update: The Authority Intensive conference is sold out for 2014.

We’re still more than three months away from Authority Intensive, May 7-9 in Denver, and we’re almost sold out. With this lineup, I’m not surprised — I feel lucky just to be hosting this thing.

If you’re still on the fence, there’s good news … we’ve added even more great speakers. Let me tell you a bit about them before you head over to secure your spot for the content marketing event of the year.

These five additions are much like the rest of our amazing lineup. Some old friends mixed in with new ones, who all share one thing in common — being at the top of their game and able to teach it as well.

The “Ask Me Anything” Liquid Courage Panel

What if you could ask an online marketing pro any question you wanted? And what if we served you a tasty beverage that ensured that you asked the question you really wanted to ask?

That’s the idea for our panel at the end of day one (Thursday, May 8). Cocktails, questions, and these three smart people (we may have some others join them):
