Connected Marketing Week is behind held next week in San Francisco from August 16-20, 2010 and Jeff Pulver's 140 Characters Conference is smack in the middle of it.

The content and focus? Evolving into a network of people constantly connecting, communicating and sharing, the dynamics by which people interact both with each other and information has fundamentally changed.

Realizing that success in marketing today requires an advanced understanding of how consumers and audiences are connecting, sharing their passions and influencing others.
