We’re Headed to SMX East & Pubcon Las Vegas to Bring You Live Conference Reports

In two weeks, your feeds and streams will be enriched with new technical SEO tricks, digital marketing case studies and inspiring, big picture pep talks. That’s because attendees of digital marketing conferences SMX East and Pubcon Las Vegas will be blogging, tweeting and ‘gramming the most quotable and memorable takeaways. I’ll be at both conferences as a reporter on the scene so that, even from your office, you can attend the conference. Jump straight to the liveblog schedules below to see the sessions and speakers to expect on our blog, or read on to discover the many opportunities to connect with the Bruce Clay, Inc. team in the coming weeks.

Founder and president Bruce Clay will speak at both conferences, along with BCI’s VP of Search Marketing David Szetela and Director of Training Mindy Weinstein. Meanwhile, Virginia Nussey and I will keep ourselves very busy liveblogging choice sessions as they happen to bring you coverage of as many speaker presentations as possible.

Hi Kristi, what do you mean by live blog? do you write instantly and we can check your post right away?

Great question Velgreen! Liveblogs are where we write notes/recaps as the sessions are happening and publish the articles right after. So, the blog post will be live with an hour or so from when the session ends #NearInstant :)

Had one the best times at PUbcon in vegas. Look forward to being able to come back again.

Definitely stop by the Bruce Clay, Inc. booth! We’d love to meet you :)
