Raves for SMX Advanced Seattle

…I wish I had a clone with me. So much great content, speakers, and topics. I must say that the best information gained was during the networking events though; the contacts and conversations have been priceless. – Zak Nicola, Kaseya

This was by far the best conference I have been to. I enjoyed not having to go through the basics of SEO and Social Media. It allowed for a lot more in-depth learning and even threw some things out that I had to look up!

- Ellen Wright, LA-CO Industries, Inc.

SMX Advanced 2011 was extremely organized, held in a great venue and was jam packed with valuable takeaways and networking opportunities for both seasoned SEOs and newbies!

“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 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.”

SMX Advanced is the show for folks interested in more than just basic industry information and expertise.

SMX Advanced is “the” conference of the year I suggest when I am asked the question: “What is the one conference you recommend I go to?” and I am ALWAYS asked the question. The networking opportunities, quality of speakers and information given is second to none.
