Next
week several of us will head to Forrester’s Marketing
Forum EMEA which will be held on November 17-18 in London.
At this event, leading Forrester analysts will present on how companies can
surpass competitors as the recession begins to recede, how companies can
increase online engagement with customers, and which product and service innovations
they must prepare for. This event provides a platform where
marketing and eBusiness professionals can share innovative best practices, network
with peers, benefit from keynotes and track sessions, and pose direct questions
to top Forrester analysts during one-on-one meetings.

 We have great speakers
this year, with keynotes from:

Take the conversation offline:

On Tuesday, November 17, 2009, Forrester will host a London Tweetup. Tweetups are low-key social
events where Twitterers can network and meet the people they tweet with. Anyone
can attend; it is an informal atmosphere that allows casual conversations.

This tweetup is for anyone who's attending the Forum or
lives in the London area. There is no charge for attending the Tweetup, so come meet and mingle
with @forrester,
@jgownder, @bsimm, @Mark_Mulligan, Alexander
Hesse, Peter O'Neill, and others.

We hope to see you many of you there!
