We don’t usually cover CDP marketing ploys but we’ve never seen anyone give away a CDP as conference swag. Stop by the BlueVenn booth at DMEXCO, MarTech East, or Technology for Marketing next month and you might not get a free t-shirt but you will be able to enter a drawing for a free BlueVenn implementation and one-year license. The CDP Institute will present at all three events but we promise not to enter the contest.
