Guests that attended and tweeted during the Inbound Marketing Summit 2011 in San Francisco left with a wealth of the latest and best inbound marketing practices - along with case studies and data to back them up. This was the first of the Inbound Marketing Summit events - with a second event in Boston September 14-15, 2011. Although it was a fast-paced and well-attended event - there was plenty of time for valuable one-on-one conversation with presenters and peers in our industries. No one said it better than @anneliesz:
