The SMX Advanced preview agenda is now available and boy am I excited for this event. 

I have the privilege of interviewing Elizabeth Tucker, the individual at Google who announced the March 2024 core update. Tucker is super technical and has been working deep within the Search ranking algorithms for the past 20 years at Google. It should make for an insightful and educational discussion.

You can check out the preview of the SMX Advanced agenda here.
