Jay Baer - Keynote Speaker

We are thrilled and privileged to have Jay Baer and Amber Naslund, authors of the forthcoming book “The NOW Revolution” keynoting at SMCV11 on June 3rd and 4th, 2011.

Jay is a social media strategist, author and speaker and President of consultancy Convince & Convert. He has also founded of five companies, and worked with over 700 brands, including 25 of the Fortune 1000. Jay describes himself as “a tequila-loving, hype-free social media strategy consultant, speaker, and author who helps leading companies and PR firms harness the awesome power of the social Web.”

I had the chance to meet Jay in November when he was in town. He was on my list of prospective keynote speakers but after talking to him for just a few minutes I knew we had to get him. So when his co-author Amber Naslund was able to come as well we were totally stoked.

Praise for Jay & Amber

Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what industry leaders like Chris Brogan have to say about Jay and Amber.

Chris Brogan

“Action. I no longer read a business book like this seeking thoughts and ideas. I read them to get actionable bits I can employ immediately. ‘Now’ is staring all businesses in the face. It doesn’t matter whether you want to join the conversation. They’re already shouting for you (or AT you). Get this book and heed Baer and Naslund’s advice. Now.”
