SMX Social Media: Focus On Tactics

We got a question this week about SMX Social Media, which will be held October 16-17 in New York City. The writer wanted to know if the conference “addresses the concepts and practices of social media as marketing channels.”

Danny Sullivan, who is co-chairing the conference, answered this way: “I think you’re asking, is this meant to get you thinking about social media or actually diving in on tactics you can use. It’s very heavy on tactics. We assume you’re already convinced about social media, so we mainly focused on telling you how to promote in various ways.”

Convinced social media is the way to reach audiences who are tuning out traditional media? Need actionable information on leveraging social media platforms? SMX Social media is for you. Check out the full agenda here. Then register.

Here’s a sample of what you said about the show:

Really enjoyed the sessions, very informative.
–Emma Cockburn, AvenueA – Razorfish

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

Great conference, definitely the best we’ve been to. The Q&A portion of each session alone made it worth it. It was energizing.
–Lynne Polischuik, Mezine.com Inc

SMX Advanced was great! Absolutely the best event I have ever attended.
–Adam Killam

This conference was great – more information and insight into SEO & PPC given in 2 days versus the other 4 day conferences.
–Jennifer Doerschuk, The Karcher Group

Don’t miss the next SMX, and to show you how much confidence I have in this group’s talent and abilities, I will personally guarantee your ticket price if you leave the next SMX without feeling it was worth twice the price you paid.
–Paul J. Bruemmer, Director Search Marketing Red Door Interactive in Pandia Search Marketing News
