Going To Seattle
May 30, 2009 Search and SEO
Next week I’ll be taking the cross-country trip from Florida to Seattle to attend SMX Advanced. I’ve attended before and it is easily one event I’d consider a “must attend”. The format is slightly different from other shows in that the content caters only to advanced SEO and PPC marketers. You are not going to learn about title tags and navigation links at this conference. Instead you can expect to learn about advanced strategies that are currently working for experienced marketers.
Now I always enjoy a good tradeshow, but I really enjoy them when I’m about to launch a new product. It seems that when I learn things with an idea of how I’m going to apply them to a current project, they seem to make a stronger impact. After all, what is knowledge without application and execution? My company will be launching this ambitious project later this summer, and I hope that the timing of SMX and the opportunities I know it will present, will help benefit our product launch.
Oh, and another thing, I friggin LOVE the city of Seattle. It is easily my favorite city in the states. I especially love the emerald city during this time of year, check out this weather! I’m also a huge Mariners fan. They happen to be playing a series while I’m there, but as much of a fan I am, I opted not to go to a game because that’s not the purpose of this trip. I’d hate to miss out on networking opportunities while I was doing the seventh inning stretch.

It's no fun to watch a baseball game without the love of your life!

And you wonder why I've taken a vow of celibacy!

I wish I could come to events like this one. Only that am located very far from the area. How did it go?
