SMX Advanced Scheduled for London and Seattle in 2010

Conference for experienced search engine marketers expands, SMX Advanced London scheduled for May 2010; SMX Advanced Seattle event dates set for 8-9 June 2010

London – 13 October 2009 – The producers of Search Marketing Expo announced dates for SMX Advanced in 2010, including the addition of a London edition of the search engine marketing conference.

For the first time in 2010, SMX Advanced will be produced in London on 17-18 May at the newly renovated Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden. SMX Advanced London will be produced in association with specialist business event producer Rising Media.

SMX Advanced Seattle will be held 8-9 June at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle, WA. SMX Advanced has been enthusiastically supported by the search marketing community since its debut in 2007; the conference has sold out each year.

“SMX Advanced’s unique format has been very successful in Seattle. Adding London is ideal, given its sophisticated search marketing community,” said Danny Sullivan, SMX Advanced program chair. “Topics at Advanced are discussed at a very high level, so there’s no slowing down to bring beginners up to speed. This format isn’t for everyone, and we have other conferences that address the needs of beginners, but experienced search marketers have embraced Advanced enthusiastically,” he added.
