SMX East 2008
Exhibitor & Sponsor Opportunities
Search Marketing Expo – SMX East will be held October 6-8 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, New York City’s premier exhibition facility.
Our conference program will cover all search marketing topics including: paid search advertising (PPC), organic search optimization (SEO), link building, Local, Mobile, Social, and Analytics and much more. We are expecting to draw an audience of over 2000 search marketing professionals.
For exhibiting and sponsoring companies, participating in SMX East in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center will yield a superior and more consistent experience compared to hotel-located events. Exhibits will be located in the same hall as the conference sessions. SMX East will occupy a single level, which means that conference attendees will be more engaged with the Expo and have easier access to it.
SMX East exhibitor and sponsor packages offer a variety of innovative and high-touch opportunities including: Sponsored Sessions, exhibitor presentations in the SMX Theater and eScan technology that enables you to capture prospects’ contact information for subsequent follow up. Check out all of the sponsorship options below.
