What Participants Have Said About SMX

Here’s what attendees of previous SMX said:

SMX London is one of the conferences where every speaker is expected to innovate. In 2010, one panel talk in particular changed the way people approached SEO by providing examples and research demonstrating why things worked the way they did.

SMX is worth attending by those who have already learned the basics and want to experience more advanced talks but be warned – you have to choose carefully and attend even the early morning sessions or you risk missing the best sessions of the conference!

Judith Lewis
Global Head of Search, Beyond

“SMX London has been a must-attend search marketing event in the UK for the last several years. It’s a conference which has grown and improved year-on-year and with the new advanced format launched last year it’s an event where people at all levels of skill and experience in the search industry can enjoy and learn from.”

Kevin Gibbons
Director of Search, SEOptimise Limited

“We exhibited our SEO Project Management software at a number of events in 2010. We were very impressed with the volume and quality of attendees at SMX London and signed up a number of new customers and international resellers. It was a very well organised and successful event.”
