Networking At SMX Advanced 2008
SMX Advanced: Seattle - June 3-4, 2008
We've arranged a variety of parties and networking events at SMX Advanced to help you meet others. There's no need to feel lost in the crowd! There are many ways for you to connect with others who have similar interests or work areas before you come to the show, so that you can have a successful conference network experience when you arrive.
Network Online
SMX Connect: SMX Advanced 2008 - This is SMX's custom online networking tool exclusively for SMX Advanced attendees. It's purposely designed as an easy, low-impact way for you to meet others. No giant forms! Simply answer some simple questions. Then you can magically click and browse your way to discover other attendees that are a match to you. You can also privately message others who are going to the show or post comments that all show attendees can view.
NOTE: SMX Connect is only available to those with All Access, Developer Day and Networking passes. Appropriate registrants will receive an email stating that you have access to the networking system. Simply visit it and choose the "Create An Account" link at the top of the page.
Sphinn: SMX Advanced 2008 - Members of Sphinn - the social news sister site to SMX and Search Engine Land - can register that they are going and view others from the Sphinn community who plan to attend. If you're a Sphinn member, be sure to check it out!
Facebook: SMX Advanced 2008 - Facebookers can see others who are going to the show by connecting to them through our official events page. Just confirm you're going and view other attendees that you may wish to friend beforehand. Also keep up on SMX Advanced 2008 news through the group. Don't forget to also join the Facebook SMX Group or the Facebook SMX Fan Page to network with others interested in SMX generally.
