About Web Content Conferences
Duo Consulting created the Web Content Conference Series to draw attention to the strategic importance of content and to feature how content should be effectively deployed to achieve specific and measurable business results. While many Internet symposia focus on website design, email marketing, search engine strategies, ecommerce and other pieces of the internet puzzle, there seemed to be a void in bringing this assortment under the umbrella of content. Hence, Web Content 2009 - devoted to the core item virtually every Internet user seeks. Duo Consulting is proud to again partner on Web Content 2009 with TheContentWrangler.com.
