Focus:
Level:
BEGINNER: These sessions are especially suitable for those new to search marketing, though even intermediate and advanced people might find them helpful. NOTE: We HIGHLY recommend that beginners attend ALL the sessions in the SMX Boot Camp Track on Day 1 and the additional SMX Boot Camp session on Day 2. These are especially designed to get new people up to speed and comfortable attending intermediate sessions that follow after the Boot Camp sessions have ended.
INTERMEDIATE: These sessions are designed for those with some working experience in search marketing but will likely still be helpful to those of either beginning or advanced experience levels.
EXPERT: You’re a search marketing pro. These sessions assume a high level of knowledge and don’t stop to explain the basics.
