Webtrends has received a number of really great ideas for Engage 2010 sessions in the short time we’ve had open submissions. In fact, we’re expecting several more promised submissions this week, well beyond today’s submission deadline. So, in the spirit of fairness, we’ve decided to extend the deadline one more week!

The new deadline, November 23, gives you plenty of time to share your modern way around the ancient problem of making enterprise customer intelligence data relevant to digital marketing plans. Submitting your idea is fairly straightforward – just post a short synopsis on the Engage 2010 submission page for review. We’re very interested in hearing about the strategies, case studies, and notable trends related to the following areas:

Social media
Site optimization
Mobile data
Offline integration of data

Engage 2010 touts several types of presentation delivery formats, so be sure to mention which format you think your session idea is most suited for when you submit your idea:

Sprints: Ignite-style presentations (5 minute PowerPoint presentations with a total of 20 slides that rotate automatically after 15 seconds)
Breakout Sessions: Hour-long, timely, relevant, and intriguing presentations
Workshops: Hands-on and interactive sessions with no PowerPoint and no agenda
Flex Sessions: Small round-table discussions guided by industry leaders

The Webtrends Engage 2010 conference is three days of interactive sessions that are focused on the collaborative learning and teaching of best practices in using data for marketing insight. The list of dynamic speakers committed to speaking at Engage is already truly impressive, and many more forward-thinking individuals are about to be announced. This conference is not to be missed!

Add your interesting idea to the submission page today for your chance to be a part of the Engage 2010 agenda! And, one more thing: if you register to attend Engage 2010 before November 30, you’ll get $100 off the regular conference fee.

Send us your presentation idea and type of format, and present at Engage 2010!
