Besides the main show in LA, there will be 3 separate 1 day events later in the year scheduled for NY, Vegas and Barcelona. I look forward to seeing you there.

Search Marketing Expo.com Starts Today in NYC

Written on October 4th, 2010 by directnavigationone shout

Search Marketing Expo opened today and runs through Wednesday. It’s an interesting show. I was there earlier today and ended up running into 3 people I knew. If you live in the NYC area, you might want to get an exhibit ticket, which I believe is just $50 and lets you attend some of the main talks. There are some good networking events/parties today and tomorrow. Their website is searchmarketingexpo.com.
