What a killer lineup. I am not as familiar with kBuzz, but I know that Hazel Grace is one of the foremost experts on Facebook for business and I really hope they video tape this and RE SELL the presentation so those of us who cannot be there can see it and learn from THE Facebook Fanpage expert.

I voted for your panel and for Patrick's of www.TacticalExecution.com

You guys will rock the conference, I am sure.

Sincerely, Chrystal
