Our SMX East search marketing conference is coming up fast — Oct. 6-8 in New York — and I’m going to be highlighting some sessions we’re having in the run-up to the event. First up is a late breaking entry: Search & The US Presidential Campaign.

By several accounts, this is the year the US presidential candidates "got" search. On this panel, we’re going to take a closer look. Eric Frenchman from the McCain-Palin campaign is on board, as are Peter Greenberger from Google and Diane Rinaldo from Yahoo, to share their experiences in working with the campaigns.

We’re still working to see if we can get an Obama-Biden person to take part along with a few other panelists. It’s going to be a cool session that moderator Sara Holoubek is pulling together.

SMX East has many other sessions, of course. Check out the entire agenda, with tracks covering all aspects of search marketing and all skill levels.
