You blazed your way to Chicago for BLAZE, BMA’s 2013 annual global conference from May 29-31 at the Sheraton Hotel & Towers.

With 800+ b2b marketers in attendance—from 300+ companies, 35+ states and 10+ countries—BMA’s conference was the single largest b2b marketing event in the world in 2013.

We hope BLAZE sparked new thinking and ideas that you're already sharing and implementing in your business!

As an attendee of BLAZE, you can now access presenter videos as well as many, if not all, presenter decks. Video and decks are available by the following conference days:

• Day 1 - Wednesday, May 29, 2013

• Day 2 - Thursday, May 30, 2013

• Day 3 - Friday, May 31, 2013

We were also pleased that everyone valued the real-time polling via the audience-response keypads you received at BLAZE check-in. We are happy to share the following links to each day's polling results:

• Wednesday, May 29, 2013: Day 1 Polling Results

• Thursday, May 30, 2013: Day 2 Polling Results

• Friday, May 31, 2013: Day 3 Polling Results

Again, thank you for attending BLAZE and making it BMA's largest annual global conference ever!

Join Suzanne Martin, past BMA/Chicago President and CMO of Revenew, and Tribby Warfield, President, North America Commercial, Gates Corporation, as they lead an early-morning walk/run/bike ride along Lake Michigan. No need to sign up—just assemble in the hotel lobby at 5:30 am. Suzanne and Tribby will get you back to the hotel by 7:00 am.

In this hour, you will hear five consecutive "firebrands" take 10-12 minutes each to raise the roof on a narrower but key b2b marketing issue or trend.

After fiery presentations all day, get ready for an incendiary evening of networking, kicked off by a visually stunning, 10-minute “UV” light show performed by Pyrotechniq, a Chicago-based fire performance troupe. Then greet old friends and meet new ones against a backdrop of jazz, pop and salsa music played by the seven-member Ron Harris Music Group, while a conflagration of BLAZE-themed video and film footage plays on the wide background screen. And enjoy beverages hot and cold as well as ethnic foods spicy and otherwise.

If you're a "young professional" 30 or under, mosey on over to Chuck's Manufacturing after “Fireball” to continue networking with 100 of your peers as well as any national/chapter leaders still standing after a full day of BLAZE. This is BLAZE’s official YP networking event, and you’ll be able to meet many of the YPs who led Wednesday afternoon’s Firestarter session. Just be sure to be up and at ‘em at 8 am on Friday for the last half day of BLAZE!
