This weekend I was invited to speak at a conference about marketing through social media, such as Wikipedia.
Perhaps something has been lost in translation, but that sounds like wiki-spam to me... Could you explain what the conference was about in more detail? I'm curious...

No, I think he meant the conference subject itself seemed like using Wikipedia for "spam" purposes. I don't think he was suggesting Lennart was a spammer. ;-)

Indeed! Lennart has explained the conference to me and it is what it sounds like, but it sounds like they actually want to do it by following our rules, so it sounds great to me.
If a company or business comes to terms with the notability guidelines for sources, they are likely best placed to argue their case for an entry in Wikipedia - or expansion of an existing entry. They would be negligent were they not maintaining records of all press coverage.
Part of the process of disclosing their interest/involvement should be revealing the IP addresses of their sales and marketing people - so they can be pre-emptively blocked. :P
