In House SEM Exchange

In-house SEM Exchange @ SMX West: March 5, 2010

All Day, Everywhere You Turn, It’s All In-house SEO

The only event designed by in-house SEOs for in-house SEOs

The In-house SEM Exchange is one full day that is 100% dedicated to in-house SEO and 100% of the attendees are in-house SEOs. This means that the types of challenges you face and the types of questions that you have can be discussed with people in the room. Attendees will share solutions and build relationships. It’s unlike any event you have ever attended!

Ah-Ha! Moments: SMX West Taken to the Next Level
Everyone takes away something different from an event. In this session, we’ll talk about your biggest take-aways and “Ah-Ha!” moments from SMX West, and how you can implement them at your company.

Group Discussion, facilitated by Jessica Bowman

10:15 – 11:00

Valuable Input from your In-house SEO Peers
Wondering what other people are doing, and how they’re doing it? In this session, you’ll get to hear from in-house SEOs who are in the trenches and have already solved the most pressing challenges. Learn what works, and what doesn’t, so that you leave with specific actions you can take immediately.

Moderator: Jessica Bowman

11:00 – 12:00

Links and Links Only
Links are a hot topic, but they are hard to get if you don’t know the ins-and-outs. We’ll spend the entire hour talking about links, and only links to get realistic solutions that are being implemented by your in-house peers.

Networking Lunch

1:00 – 3:00

SEO In-house Vault: Real SEO Strategies & Successes that you’re Not Discussing Publicly
This is where the magic of the In-house SEO Exchange happens. It’s called a vault because it’s when we get down to serious and productive SEO exchange, pull down the walls, and the group’s confidentiality agreement begins so that everyone can talk candidly and ask questions about real world strategies that are working (and not working). The best way to describe this session is through the Japanese expression “Open the Kimono”, which means to drop all pretense, speak openly, honestly, lay it all on the table, and expect others to do the same. This session is where you’ll get real solutions that are actually being implemented successfully by companies doing In-house SEO, right now.
