by attendees and the press alike.

Here's what they've said about our previous events.

Past Attendees

"I've known and worked with Danny since 1997. After 10+ years of attending and speaking at his conferences I still find them fresh, informative and essential. His writing is required reading to maintain an edge and insight into the search industry. Danny's overall level of expertise and professionalism are only matched by his wit and whimsical approach as well as his stellar singing voice."
-- Marshall D. Simmonds, Chief Search Strategist - The New York Times Company & CEO - Define Search Strategies

SMX West: Search Marketing Expo - Santa Clara - February 26-28, 2008

"SMX is a great experience for all levels of SEM/SEO professionals. This conference differentiates itself from other Search Marketing events with a clear division between SEO and SEM and focuses on advanced topics not normally covered in other conferences. The open discussion forum which included all major Search Engines presented an outlet for future industry needs and enhancements."
-- Rudy DeDominicis, Search Marketing Specialist, Time Inc Interactive

"SMX Advanced was a resourceful and engaging conference consisting of intelligent speakers and an intelligent crowd."
-- Julie Sun, Senior Manager of SEO, MTV


"SMX Local & Mobile was a fantastic conference experience that helped attendees combine today's understanding of local and mobile search offerings with tomorrow's promise. It was the perfect blend of local search, mobile search and the Internet."
-- Mark McCormack, Chief Marketing Officer, Call Genie

"At an SMX conference, you learn from the speakers and the other attendees, who are also some of the most battle-hardened search marketers in this business. I got tremendous insights just hearing the questions they asked in the sessions, and in talking with them between sessions about challenges they face."
-- Matt Van Wagner, President, Find Me Faster
