Where Bruce Clay and the Team Will Be During SMX West

Mining for gold nuggets from speakers at sessions is one reason you come to SMX. Another reason you attend one of the industry’s top-flight events is to make connections with individuals and with organizations. Us too.

  • Bruce Clay and Robert Esparza will be in expo hall booth #406 during office hours, open to sharing our info and offerings to anyone looking for an full service digital marketing agency, an SEO tools vendor, or a 5-star reviewed SEO training course that you can attend in sun-soaked SoCal or have us come to you.
  • At noon on Tuesday, hear a quick and illuminating presentation by Bruce in Expo Hall Theater A.
  • Chelsea Adams and Virginia Nussey will be wearing press badges during the day and party hats (perhaps figuratively) at night. But no matter the time of day, we’re all on the hunt to meet our cool confederates in SEO, social and content marketing. Bruce, Chelsea, Virginia and Robert will be around all the networking events, including:
    • Monday night Meet & Greet: From 6-7 your drink is on us! Bruce Clay, Inc. traditionally sponsors the SMX conference kick-off because we like to meet people and hang out with our peers and colleagues — yes YOU. Join us at the San Jose Marriott second floor Ballroom Foyer.
    • Tuesday night Expo Hall Reception: From 6-7, the expo hall is the traffic center of the show and we’re up for convo and cocktails in booth #406.
    • Tuesday night Search Engine Journal Meetup: Join us from 7-9 at Mosaic Restaurant & Lounge as SEJ hosts cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, free for the first 200 registrants. We’re on the list. Get on it!
    • Wednesday night SMX After Dark: From 9-11 Motif Lounge is the only place to be, SMX attendees. Not only will all the interesting conversation be within the walls and lounge spaces of Motif, but if last year was any indication, so will the best dance beats. You may also make a donation to Dana Lookadoo’s recovery fund at this event.
    • Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning Conference Yoga: Start every day off right with a stretch and a sweat on the yoga mat with your fellow attendees in San Jose Convention Center room 212. Virginia has pre-registered for all three mornings for just $35. You can register online or show up and pay in person, with a per-class cost of $15.

Whether we see you in San Jose or in the comments of liveblog posts, we’re looking forward to a great show around the corner.

We’re linking up the session titles in this post to the actual liveblogs as they happen! There’s a ton of SEO news and Internet marketing information here, coming straight from the experts at SMX West.

It looks like we are just a few days away. After looking at the schedule above, I am even more excited!

Tried both feed links to subscribe to blog and neither work…just lead to some code. Is there a way to subscribe by email? PS Not filling out tons of personal information just to leave a question.

Hi LucidGal :) About our subscribe options… they’re a little dated at the moment! We hope to soon offer an email subscribe option. At the moment, the way the options we have on the sidebar here are for a feed reader such as Bloglines, Yahoo Pipes or Feedly. If you do happen to use an RSS reader take the URL that the RSS feed buttons give you (excerpt version: http://www.bruceclay.com/blog/feed/ or full version: http://www.bruceclay.com/blog/feed/atom/) and plug one of those into your feed reader. Like I said, we hope to bring you an email subscribe option soon. Thanks for reading! The fact you’d like to stay plugged into the blog with an email is great feedback.
