At event sponsored by Sitewire and the City of Tempe, marketing expert and best-selling author Seth Godin to speak about his much-anticipated new book, "The Dip."

Tempe, AZ (PRWEB) May 1, 2007 -- Online Marketing Agency Sitewire (www.sitewire.net) announced today that best-selling author Seth Godin will be appearing in Tempe, Arizona to talk about his new book, The Dip. The event will be held at the Tempe Improv Theatre on May 24th from 9-11 am. One of today's hottest business speakers, Seth Godin rarely does public events. The chance to hear this phenomenal author and speaker live has marketing and business professionals abuzz throughout Arizona. The event is sponsored by Sitewire, a company known for its innovative and results-producing online marketing tactics. Also sponsoring the event is the City of Tempe, a vibrant destination known as "The Smart Place to Be."

Marketing expert Seth Godin (http://www.sethgodin.com/sg/) is a successful entrepreneur, high-profile blogger and author of bestselling publications Permission Marketing, Unleashing the Ideavirus, The Purple Cow and All Marketers Are Liars, among others. Seth Godin is coming to Tempe to discuss the surprising trait that sets superstars apart in business, sports and other fields, which is the focus of his new book The Dip. The $50 admission to hear Seth's dynamic presentation includes five free copies of The Dip.

This upcoming event has been made possible through Seth Godin's devoted fan base in Arizona. When Phoenix business owner Matt LaPrairie heard that Seth would not be speaking in the area, he circulated a pledge that filled up so quickly that Seth was soon on board to visit the Valley of the Sun. Matt then paired up with Sitewire, an agency whose marketing philosophies are much aligned with those of Seth Godin's.

"I've been a Seth Godin fan for years, and have always wanted to hear him speak, but he rarely does public events. He mentioned in a post on his blog that he would visit any city in the US where 500 people wanted to hear him speak. After I started an online pledge for people in the Phoenix area, Seth saw how fast people were signing up and he decided to make it official," states Matt LaPrairie.

Excited about coming to Arizona, Seth Godin notes that "Matt's efforts to organize the community in the Phoenix area were proof (as if we needed more) that the future belongs to connected, networked, empowered individuals who want to organize and make a difference."

Seats are quickly filling up for this exciting event. Tickets are available for what's sure to be a remarkable presentation by Seth Godin. Reserve your seat and receive five free copies of The Dip at www.SethGodinLIVE.com.
