DelHarvey Our SMX Social Media Marketing show is coming to Las Vegas this Dec. 5 & 6, and as part of our great agenda is a keynote talk by Del Harvey, Twitter’s director of trust and safety.

Not familiar with Del? You should be, if you’re a marketer doing anything involved with Twitter. She oversees what’s considered right and wrong when it comes to promotion on the service.

To put Del in a context our search marketing readers will understand, she’s effectively the “Matt Cutts” of Twitter, overseeing the type of policing in Twitter’s tweets that Cutts does for Google’s search results.

I’ve heard Del speak before, and she’s full of excellent advice. Her keynote on Dec. 5, Twitter Talks: How To Win Friends & Not Be Unfollowed By People (Or Worse), will be one that you won’t want to miss.

Learn more about our entire show at the SMX Social Media Marketing site, which includes the entire agenda-at-glance. Be sure to register by Nov. 10 in order to get early bird discount pricing.

See you in Las Vegas!
