Go! If there is one resounding theme for the month of June at BMA, it is Go! Only emphasized by the imperative: Now!  Go Now! 

June is the month in which the leaders of B2B marketing descend on Chicago for the National BMA Conference being held June 1st through 3rd at the Chicago Sheraton.  
 
For BMA Chicago, we’re proud to host Seth Godin as the keynote speaker for our June luncheon coinciding with the national conference on Thursday June 2nd. This is likely to be one of the most memorable and impactful keynote addresses of your career. My one word of advice is Go! Go now and register for the conference or register for the luncheon keynote with Seth Godin. 
 
As the author of ten best selling books, Seth Godin is changing the way people think about marketing and work. At the luncheon, you will receive a copy of his latest best seller, Poke the Box, which will challenge all of us to take initiative, to be the spark that brings things to life, right now.  [If you are a BMA Chicago member and cannot commit to the entire conference, but you don’t want to miss the opportunity to hear Seth Godin – sign up for the luncheon. And, as a special incentive, the first 50 people who join or renew their BMA Chicago membership by May 20 can attend the Seth Godin luncheon address at no additional charge.  Go here to join or renew. You must select the Chicago chapter at the end of the registration process. Once you have joined, go to the Unleash website and select the luncheon. The promotion code is: amlch11. (Note: This offer is not transferable, and those who have previously registered for the full conference or recently joined or renewed their BMA membership are not eligible.)
 
Another event you won’t want to miss is the 10th annual Windy City Biz Bash, being held that same evening, June 2nd at the River East Art Center.   This is the premier social and fundraising event for BMA, attended by hundreds of your peers, with a live and silent auction. As the tenth anniversary, this year, Biz Bash will be like none other. 
 
So Go! Go Register for the Conference, the Seth Godin keynote and the 10th anniversary of the Windy City Biz Bash. It will help you unleash the creative ideas, new initiatives and peer networking that can help spark new ideas, and new opportunities for your organization.
 
All the best,

President, BMA Chicago
