On April 10, 2009 we concluded our first annual Module Midwest Digital Conference and, if we do say so ourselves, it was a bonified success. Presenters and attendees from around the country assembled in-person and on-line to discuss all things digital and social.

The Hashtag Heard 'Round The World
We also managed to generate more than a little ripple on-line. During the conference, our meme (#module09) was one of the most popular discussion topics on Twitter, out-performing such popular subjects as Oprah and Hannah Montana (contact us to learn how we managed that).

Module 09 Program
This year's conference focused on the impact of social technologies on the business.

The conference is designed for professionals and students in marketing, public relations and business development. Whether new or experienced, attendees will gain practical knowledge and a greater understanding of how digital technology can be applied to strengthen communication across all audiences — both inside and outside an organization.

Attendees enjoyed morning keynotes from Adrian Pittman, Ken Burbary, Amber Naslund, Damian Rintelmann and Marcel Lebrun as well as a lunch-based networking session. In the afternoon, Scott Monty kicked things off, followed by Jeremy Tanner, Oz Sultan, Shannon Paul, Chris Brogan and a lively panel discussion and sponsored after-event.
