Our CEO and Founder, Michael Caccavano, has proposed Free As In Branding for DrupalCon Denver:

Apple, Disney, Nike, IBM. What do all of these companies have in common? A ridiculously strong global brand. While their visual brand identities are instantly recognizable, the real value in their brands is not the design--it's trust. Customers want to work with them, buy from them, and even interact with them.

As a technology, Drupal has proven itself and is now sought after, but that's only half your battle. To compete in a crowded, at times enigmatic industry, customers need to know about you! It is not enough to throw money at sales and marketing...to yield the best results, you must develop a strong, authentic brand built around what makes you unique.

If you're interested in this session, please vote on it. And if you have comments or questions regarding the proposed session, please comment below. Even if it isn't accepted at DrupalCon Denver, Michael may be presenting it elsewhere.
