What Participants Have Said About SMX Advanced
Here’s what attendees of previous SMX Advanced said:
“SMX Advanced is different. For the first time in more than 3 years, I’ve actually attended sessions because I felt they were interesting and I could learn something. It’s a wonderful feeling. I’m a natural student by nature, and I love learning new things.”
- Ian McAnerin, Founder & CEO, McAnerin International, Inc.
“I met lots of people and heard several amazing speakers that were far more knowledgeable than I am in their areas of expertise. At a small conference like this, you get to rub elbows with some of the brightest minds on the planet, and pick their brains.”
- Scott Hendison, CEO, Search Commander Inc.
“I loved the experience, the whole conference and Seattle. I think it was intimate (it was easy to chat with the SEO stars), useful and tons of fun…Overall, I had a great time and came out feeling like I was in sync with the rest of the industry. It set me back in the right ‘SEO’ direction.”
- Anne-Marie Castonguay, Luxury Retreats International
