"Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle." ― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
This year's Social Shake-Up conference in Atlanta is bringing together an impressive breadth of brands, industries and marketing professionals from around the globe. From the world's most recognizable brands like-Coke, IBM, Facebook, Walmart, UPS, to name just a few-to leading universities like Emory and the University of Rochester, to the world's top public health research organization-the Center for Disease Control-the conference has brought the best and the brightest to converse and brainstorm about the impact and the future of social marketing.
Here's a profile of the 600+ attendees, starting with attendees by industry.
