Y’all Connect is a blogging and social media conference taking place Aug. 11, 2017, in Birmingham, Ala. The mission is to give you practical takeaways in corporate storytelling.

Our story: The good folks of Birmingham dreamed of a way to show off its talented practitioners of digital storytelling. They knew that theirs was a land of hospitality and warmth. What better way to bring the people together than with a gathering in the Magic City to share ideas and more. The curious came from near and far, to see what was buzzing down South …

Because businesses have more options than ever — not only to market themselves, but to interact with consumers and fans — they must stand out with their unique stories. We’ll showcase leading experts in blogging and social media to help you define, express and share your stories in a 1-day conference.

Who should attend:

• CEOs: Whether you oversee 10,000 employees or just one, you can lead the charge in defining your digital outreach
• Marketing / communications officers: Learn the tips, tools and takeaways that will help your brand reach maximum visibility and interactivity.
• Content management professionals: The next wave in marketing isn’t limited to sales but includes good, relevant information in niche areas.
• Bloggers / social media professionals: Meet your future clients, employers and colleagues in one place.

What to expect:

• Learning from the best. The speakers will provide the latest tested ways to use your website, your social media channels and more to tell your company story to a receptive audience.
• Practical takeaways. Theoretical is fine and dandy, but you will leave with ideas you can put to use immediately. What good is a bunch of seminars if you can’t help your colleagues, company and customers succeed?
• Southern hospitality. Birmingham isn’t just a technological leader but also home to a wide array of friendly faces, superior dining and fun attractions for your visit.
