- Applications for blog software such as blog enabled media rooms
- Blogger relations tips
- Establishing blogging policies
Odden will speak along side Sarah Bjelland, Assistant VP and marketing consultant for Wells Fargo, who will share how Wells Fargo uses blogs to engage its workforce, its customers, and the general public in conversations.
