Well…it depends on what kind of conversation your talking about - but if you want to know and be part of a good conversation, a hip conversation then you'll want to be conversing about The Era of Conversation — October 4 where friend and  fellow blogger Valeria Maltoni will keynote  - at The Era of Conversation Conference hosted by the Direct Marketing Association of Washington, DC on October 4th.  According to Valeria:

"…In my presentation I will talk about every day things that marketers inside organizations can begin to do to transform their communications into two-way, opt in conversations with customers. Many of the stories I will share draw from personal experience as an insider in corporate America — it can be done successfully even in conservative and highly regulated environments."

Two way communications in Corporate America are not that easy to get started and hats off to anyone who can pull this off as easily as Valeria does.   It's also not everyday someone is invited to Keynote at a Direct Marketing Association event and I'm really happy she's the keynote - I won't be there but I kinda wish I was.

In a way, I see the possibility the DMA, via Valeria, can contribute to the Web Analytics Associations Social Media Committee which I direct and vice versa.
