The Top 10 Quotes from #SMMW17

Last week I was fortunate enough to attend Social Media Marketing World in San Diego, California. For 3 days I was surrounded by top influencers in the social sphere and people, like myself, who live and breathe social media every day.

I attended workshops and sessions that both blew my mind and assured me that I was on the right track for my business. The speakers were incredible and I walked away with some great social media insights.

Thank goodness for Twitter during this event, where else was I going to send out all the amazing quotes I heard live?! There were a lot, but the 10 below stood out to me as the Top Quotes from #SMMW17!
