SMX Advanced: Looking For Pitches & Register Soon!

Double-duty with this post about our SMX Advanced search marketing conference happening June 3 & 4 in Seattle. First, some of our session coordinators are still looking for some good pitches. Second — with more than half our tickets sold, consider this early warning that if you don’t register soon, you may miss out as happened to some people last year when we sold out.

Let’s do the pitches first. Interested in speaking? We’ve got a great team of coordinators sorting through pitches for the sessions they are assembling. To pitch for a particular session, just use the form here. If a session is still open to pitches, you’ll see it listed on the form. There’s also an at-a-glance page here for openings.

Stephan Spencer is coordinating the Buying Sites For SEO session and especially is looking for an additional good person to add to it. Check out his Got Tips to Share on Buying Sites for SEO? post for more about what he’s looking for.

Rand Fishkin is coordinating the Bot Herding and Analytics Every SEO Needs To Know sessions. Similar to Stephan, he’s done a special post outlining what he’s looking for in panelists: SMX Advanced: Bot Herding & Analytics Panels Need Your Help.

As for the show itself, it is designed for advanced search marketers, with sessions covering organic and paid search, as well as a track on SEM business issues and a special Developer Day designed to help developers come to grips with search engine issues. Check out the entire agenda here.

Last year’s show sold out just before the event happened. If you hadn’t bought before the event, you got turned away at the door. Sorry! But rather than make more money by adding seats, we deliberately have kept the event small in order to have a more intimate show and remain in the fabulous Bell Harbor Conference Center in Seattle.

Right now, more than half the available tickets have been sold — tracking well ahead of sales last year. No joke — no hype — just straight-forward advice. Book now if you want to ensure a ticket. Plus, you’ll save by booking ahead of the May 9th early bird deadline. Registration info is here.
