			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may be asking, “What is SMBF” right? Well, this acronym was no doubt a  popular #hashtag trending on Twitter. It stands for <a id="aptureLink_gtZenOAgBU" href="http://socialmediabusinessforum.com/">Social Media Business Forum</a>,  an event that took place just a few days ago in Raleigh, NC. A well known social  media thought leader, and good friend, Wayne Sutton (<a href="http://twitter.com/waynesutton">@waynesutton</a>) invited me to have a  speaking part, and I took him up on it.  I had a blast at his event. He combined  with Kipp Bodner (<a href="http://twitter.com/kbodnar32">@kbodnar32</a>),  Jeffrey L. Cohen (<a href="http://twitter.com/dgtlpapercuts">@dgtlpapercuts</a>), and Ryan Boyles (<a href="http://twitter.com/therab">@therab</a>) to create the first ever SMBF  conference.</p>
<p>The line-up they had was truly incredible, take a partial look at some of the  tracks, and their speakers:</p>

<p>One of the highlights was the Keynote. It was both informative, and funny. I invite you to take a look at some of the skilled panelist they had.</p>
