    Hey content wranglers! Just a quick note to let you know that registration for Content Strategy Workshops in Vancouver, BC -- July 11-12 -- is now open. http://www.contentstrategyworks...

    I hope to see you there. It's an amazing event that focuses on teaching how to do the job of a content strategy. No PowerPoint preachers. Just experienced teachers equipping you with what you need to know to be successful at work.

    See you in Vancouver this July.
