Our online community is a chatty bunch, and for that we are grateful. Even for the quieter weeks – which thankfully are few and far between – we can still count on a large gathering and fast-paced hour with some of the smartest content marketing practitioners on Tuesdays at 12pm Eastern for our #CMWorld Twitter chats.

Berrak has been a part of the #CMWorld community online for some time, and we were just thrilled to see her at CMWorld 2017. I wonder if she’s sent in a submission in the CMWorld 2017 call for speakers?
