His most recent book, "Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us," is already a Top Ten bestseller on Amazon.com. "Seth Godin is a master at marketing. Attendees will be inspired by his message and walk away with ideas that will help them get their voice heard in this increasingly cluttered marketplace," says CRB President Becky Brenner. "No matter what business you are in, his ideas will help you improve and expand your interaction with the consumer. This session alone is worth the registration fee." Godin's books have topped bestseller lists for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and appeared on Amazon.com's Top 100 and the Business Week bestseller list.
