Do you have a topic you’d like to see covered in a session at SMX West in Santa Clara, California on March 2-4, 2010? Something you’d like to see covered in depth, or a discussion of advanced strategies and tactics for getting the most out your search marketing campaigns? If so, we’d like to hear from you. Please head over to the SMX session pitch form and describe your idea(s) for sessions at the show. Please include:

• Proposed session title
• 2-7 paragraph description of the session
• Optional: Speakers who you think are most qualified for this panel

Remember that all sessions at SMX usually feature 3-4 speakers with 10-15 minutes each of speaking time, so please make sure your idea will accommodate that format. We’re not interested in any pitches for sessions where a single individual would speak for an entire session. And also please remember, no product or service pitches.

Ready to pitch? Please use the SMX session pitch form, and do not email Danny or Chris. These days we work with a team of people to help coordinate speaker selection. We need a centralized online system to help manage that process so things don’t slip through the cracks. By far the most reliable way to express interest in speaking is to go through the system – email too often gets overlooked or lost.

And don’t delay—we’ll be closing the session pitch form on December 1, and posting the agenda for the show on December 14.
