Twitter has proven to the world that it is more than just a fad. The social networking and microblogging site has garnered over 100 million users worldwide since its creation in 2006. TWTRCON, a convention for twitterers, has also come a long way.

Since its first gathering in 2009, with 300 people packed into a hotel ballroom in San Francisco, the one-day convention on the business use of Twitter has grown like Twitter has. TWTRCON host Tonia Ries says Twitter has "irrevocably changed the way that we do business."

On June 14, 2010, at the New York Hilton, 1335 Avenue of the Americas in New York City, TWTRCON will feature panels on location-based marketing, real-time customer service and case studies from leading brands of Twitter users.

Attendees will get firsthand advice from Twitter business pioneers such as:

•    Martha Stewart
•    Jetblue
•    Starbucks
•    Whole Foods
•    Comcast
•    Foursquare
•    Gowalla
•    Google

Using real-time web and location-based platforms, these companies have transformed their businesses and continue to drive revenue in a rough economy. Their social media experts will share the best practices for implementing Twitter to drive bottom line results.

Other TWTRCON events will cover micro-blogging and networking. Find out how to influence opinions, increase organizational collaboration and create new business opportunities using 140 characters at a time.

New to Twitter? The conference will host a pre-conference to cover the basics for beginners, led by Laura Fitton, co-author of Twitter for Dummies.

A TWTRCON Pass costs $595; non-profit, government or academic pass $495. An all-access pass, which includes both TWTRCON and the Digital Marketing Days Conference, is $1,149
