However, many times we dig into all the various aspects of digital marketing so deep that maintaining those relationships doesn’t get the time and effort it deserves. Questions often asked are “What are the best methods to discover relationships valuable to my company?” or “How can I effectively maintain relationships I’ve worked hard to maintain?”. It is through these quality relationships that campaigns succeed and quality links are created. Join us on **April 16, 2014** to learn how to build, maintain, and track your valuable relationships. To teach us these relationship building skills, we have three experts in relationship building coming to share their knowledge. **Featured Speakers:** ***[![Paul May](https://www.utahdmc.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Paul_May1.jpg?width=250&height=283&name=Paul_May1.jpg)](https://www.utahdmc.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Paul_May1.jpg)***  ***Paul May, CEO and co-founder of [Buzzstream](http://www.buzzstream.com):*** Paul MayPaul is the CEO and co-founder of BuzzStream.
