Search Engine Strategies Chicago 2008
CHICAGO – Search Engine Strategies, the Midwest’s only search marketing conference and expo, celebrates its 10th year in the Windy City later this fall. Returning to Chicago on December 8-11, 2008, at the Chicago Hilton, SES Chicago (http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/chicago) will feature an intriguing lineup of sessions and new content. A “recession special” of $600 off is in place for all who register by September 26, 2008.
This year’s event will explore hot topics such as search around the world, search advertising, universal and blended search, viral campaigns, social media optimization, plus geo-targeting and the best kept secrets in search. Led by the industry’s most notable visionaries, SES Chicago draws thousands of marketers each year, and boasts a 98 percent satisfaction rate from attendees.
Organized and hosted by search authority Kevin Ryan, SES Chicago offers up-to-the-minute, practical information that marketers can use immediately to grow their businesses through search. Seasoned practitioners and search newcomers alike will benefit from more than 60 engaging sessions geared toward attendees of all learning levels – beginners, intermediate-level marketers, and advanced professionals. The research, expertise and tactics presented by top search experts and the search engines themselves will arm attendees with actionable information they can apply to their business immediately upon leaving.
As the industry evolves exponentially, SES Chicago aims to capture the most current educational needs of attendees by incorporating fresh and exclusive content. Multiple keynotes and Orion panels add to the learning opportunity by providing attendees with insights from industry luminaries, often from outside the search realm, who bestow a well-rounded vision of search’s role in today’s marketing spectrum.
SES Chicago is followed by a full-day of search engine training sessions. These thorough workshops take place in a small classroom setting, giving attendees the opportunity to work closely with instructors, who provide the practices, applications, and hands-on exposure needed to become – and remain – a top performer in the field. In the end, attendees will not only walk away with the knowledge and skills needed to be a successful search engine marketer, but will also enhance their professional know-how by keeping their marketing acumen sharp and in tune with the latest developments in search engine marketing and optimization.
“Whether you’re looking to get organic traffic, explore the best free and paid placements, calculate the ROI of your search efforts, or be the first to hear about what’s coming next in the ever-changing world of search, SES Chicago is the place to be,” said Kevin Ryan, Vice President of Global Content for Search Engine Strategies, an Incisive Media property. “This year’s conference will be no exception, with an impressive array of renowned speakers and a stimulating educational environment.”
