SMX Local & Mobile - Speaking Pitches Are Now Being Accepted

SMX Advanced - Speaking Pitches Are Closed - Accepted Speakers Will Be Notified By Friday, May 2

Want to speak at one of our Search Marketing Expo events? Follow these tips, then use the form below, and you'll greatly increase the odds of being accepted!

Pitch When We're Ready: Watch the SMX Blog. When we're ready for pitches for any show, we'll post there. When that happens, use this form to express your interest.
Suggest A Session: We'll often do two calls for pitches for a show -- first for session ideas, then later for people to take part in sessions when the agenda has been developed. There's no better way to get accepted than to pitch a good session idea. That greatly increases the odds you'll be part of the show.
Pitch Prepared: Read the agenda for the show you are interested in. Understand what the sessions are about. Ensure that your pitch is on target to the show's audience and the session. Again, also watch the blog. When we're ready for pitches for a particular show, we'll often post additional information about the topics and information we're hoping to have covered.
Be Selective: Sure, the form below may allow you to pitch for every session. However, submissions like that suggest you haven't taken the time to properly consider the best place for you to speak. Consider pitching for only up to three or four sessions in all. That's not a hard-and-fast rule, but it's good advice. If you pitch more than one session, indicate in the speaking pitch box your priority (this would be my top choice, my second choice, etc.)

If you're accepted to speak, you'll receive a pass to the entire SMX event. Travel and accommodation are not provided. Also, we cannot notify you if a pitch has been rejected. We simply receive too many to do this. If you're accepted, you'll hear from us. If not, we typically post a timeline showing when all final speaker acceptance notifications will have been sent.
