How To Speak At SMX London 2008

Want to speak at our SMX London conference on November 4-5?. Here’s the timeline for getting involved with the show.

Session Pitches Accepted: July 16-July 25

From July 16 through July 25, we’re accepting pitches for sessions at SMX London. This is a general purpose search marketing event for people of all levels.

Want to pitch a topic? Submit your session idea here. The pitch should be short and succinct, just a few paragraphs, providing just a general idea of what the session would be about, along with some specifics about what you might cover. The format for sessions is typically 3-4 speakers, so feel free to suggest other potential speakers. Also send some background about yourself, your company and the type of work you do.

If we use your idea, you’ll be invited to speak on the panel and will get a pass to the entire SMX event. Travel and accommodation are not provided.

Agenda Posted: August 8

We expect to post the SMX London agenda by August 8. If you were accepted to speak as part of the session pitch process, you MIGHT be notified by this time. If not, hang in there until speaking openings are posted.

Speaking Pitches Accepted: August 11 – September 12 (or so)

On August 11, our speaking pitch form will change (note: this is a different form than the general pitch form linked to above). You’ll be able to see all available sessions that have speaking openings and pitch for those spots. Once these openings are posted on August 11, pitch as soon as possible. Once we have enough good speakers, we’ll close a session to further pitches. We expect to have all sessions filled by the end of September. Again, don’t delay in pitching, as we will close sessions as they are filled.
