So another day has come and gone and now it’s the end of SMX Advanced. It’s okay to be sad that it’s over, it was a great event, but don’t dwell on it for too long. More industry events are just around the corner! A lot of great information was shared and the slideshares that were posted are just as valuable. I hope you find these tweets and content as informative as I did:
