one year ago vs today:

last year, the @pr2020 team was in downtown Cleveland launching an international conference on AI + marketing ( #MAICON19).

today was supposed to be year two of that conference.

unfortunately, the coronavirus had other plans...

with all events on hold and under the direction of our fearless leader, @paulroetzer, we launched an online community instead—bringing the power of AI to marketers everywhere. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌎" title="Amerika auf dem Globus" aria-label="Emoji: Amerika auf dem Globus">

(yes, you read that right. our small team, while working 100% remote for the last few months, pivoted from planning a 300+ in-person event to launching an entirely online learning platform—nbd. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Vor Angst schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Vor Angst schreiendes Gesicht">)

introducing AI Academy for Marketers: an online education platform featuring 25+ courses and certifications taught by some of the best #AI and marketing experts in the field, all on-demand. like, right now.
